The bifunctional electrocatalyst enables water electrolysis in alkaline solutions at a cell voltage of 1.54 V. Most methods for producing hydrogen and oxygen from water require large amounts of energy and are cost-prohibitive. In addition, this molecular complex exhibits an exceptionally high mass activity (111.02 A g

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated solar water splitting by photovoltaic-electrolysis with a solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of more than 30%—a new record. However, the cost of H 2 produced by electrolysis is still significantly higher than that produced by fossil fuels. … The prior record was 24.4%.

In industry, extensive purification of N 2 and H 2 is needed and this remarkably increases the overall cost of the process. is well known that some higher plants can synthesize ammonia or its derivatives directly from air and water at room temperature.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new low-voltage, single-catalyst water splitter that continuously generates hydrogen and oxygen. In the reported study, the new catalyst achieved 10 mA cm −2 water-splitting current at only 1.51 V V to reach 10 mA cm −2 current (for integrated solar water splitting).

The research, supported by DOE’s BioEnergy Technologies Office (BETO), has implications for the energy efficiency and cost of catalytic upgrading technologies proposed for use in bio-refineries. All these catalysts are robust to water content in ethanol (5–95%) and volatile impurities in fermentation stream. Buchanan & Brian H.
