EPFL/Technion team develops “champion” nanostructures for efficient solar water-splitting to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

-Fe 2 O 3 (hematite) electrodes that achieve the highest photocurrent of any metal oxide photoanode for photoelectrochemical water-splitting under 100?mW?cm Warren, first author, now at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Its efficiency was such that gas bubbles emerged as soon as it was under a light stimulus.
