Cambridge team demonstrates light-driven photoreforming of unprocessed biomass to H2 at room temperature

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has reported the light-driven photoreforming of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin to H 2 using semiconducting cadmium sulfide quantum dots in alkaline aqueous solution. CdS is an inexpensive, visible-light-absorbing photocatalyst with a bulk electronic bandgap of around 2.4

This Idea Wasn't All Wet: The Sensing Water-Saving Shower Head Debuts

Cars That Think

With such a device, he thought, people could enjoy a long shower without wasting water. You’d waste more water than you saved. Schneider’s development path started soon after that dinner-table conversation. In 2017 someone who Schneider had never met edited the video from the Kickstarter pitch and shared it on Facebook.
