Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

A 12-14 m 2 system installed in Switzerland would allow the generation and storage of enough hydrogen to power a fuel cell car over 10,000 km every year. The research is part of the nano-tera SHINE — project to develop an efficient and cost-effective hydrogen production system using sunlight and water. Schüttauf et al.
