Researchers globally are exploring a range of target solar fuels fuels, from hydrogen gas to liquid hydrocarbons; producing any of these fuels involves splitting water. Each water molecule consists of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Over the past four decades, researchers identified only 16 of these photoanode materials.

The drive unit’s high efficiency means low costs of ownership. Compared with an equivalent gasoline engine, fuel costs are markedly lower, and the reduced CO 2 emissions place the vehicle in a more attractive tax bracket. In the first step, renewably generated electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
