Berkeley Lab, JCAP researchers zero in on bismuth vanadate’s role in photoelectrical chemical cells

Green Car Congress

Photoelectrical chemical cells (PECs) have the potential to produce hydrogen fuel through artificial photosynthesis, an emerging renewable energy technology that uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Prendergast’s technique is really powerful.
