The new catalyst is applied in a hybrid photocatalytic-electrolysis system that uses the photocatalytic reaction converting solar energy to lower the electrolysis voltage required for the hydrogen production by water electrolysis. Potential diagram of various reaction mechanisms for hydrogen production via water decomposition. (a)

This project explores the use of specially designed nanostructured polymers to make high-energy, low-cost, flexible and stretchable batteries. The long-term goal of this project is to develop a water-splitting device that operates at high temperatures (up to 400 °C), dramatically improving solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiencies.

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. However, the value of such fuels including syngas and methane and hydrogen is not significantly higher that of the cement product.

The finding, described in an open access paper in Nature’s Scientific Reports , is potentially a step towards reducing the cost of fuel cell technology—one of the impediments to widespread commercialization. The prohibitively high cost and scarcity of Pt have also been bottlenecks that further impede the widespread use of PEFCs.
