Rice U team creates low-cost, high-efficiency integrated device for solar-driven water splitting; solar leaf

Green Car Congress

Rice University researchers have created an efficient, low-cost device that splits water to produce hydrogen fuel. Perovskites are crystals with cubelike lattices that are known to harvest light. That lowers the entry barrier for commercial adoption. It utilizes water and sunlight to get chemical fuels. —Jun Lou.
