Tesla pioneered over-the-air (OTA) software updates as a convenient way to add new features and fix issues. Legacy automakers have been slow to catch up—and there's a reason for that, says Ford CEO Jim Farley. To save costs, Ford farmed out development of vehicle control modules, which govern the operation of everything from engines to seat.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on solar energy is one promising approach for the production of green hydrogen. However, its widespread application is limited by a lack of efficient photoanodes for catalyzing the rate-limiting oxygen evolution reaction (OER), an important reaction in PEC water splitting. Recently, organometal halide perovskites (OHPs) have emerged as a promising photoanode material for this application.
