New mesocrystal photocatalyst enhances light-driven hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Their findings were published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. When light is applied to photocatalysts, electrons and holes are produced on the surface of the catalyst; hydrogen is obtained when these electrons reduce the hydrogen ions in water. Hydrogen synthesis in SrTiO 3 mesocrystals. (a)

Osaka team develops new solar-to-hydrogen catalyst that uses broader spectrum of light

Green Car Congress

The three-part composite maximizes both absorbing light and its efficiency for water splitting. Finally, the gold-covered LTO is mixed with ultrathin sheets of the element black phosphorus (BP), which acts as a light absorber. A paper on the team’s work is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie: International Edition.

Remembering Roberto Saracco, President of EIT Digital

Cars That Think

In 2017 and 2018 he served as head of EIT’s Industrial Doctoral School , headquartered in Palaiseau, France. Beginning in 2020 he served on the advisory board of Reply , an international digital technology consulting firm based in Turin. In our conversations, Roberto truly shined. He held this position until his death.
