Water Splitting News Today

Recognized for its versatility and potential as a clean energy carrier, hydrogen is poised to address the energy requirements of various sectors, including heavy industry, transportation, and power generation.

The challenge of overcoming the bottleneck in water electrolysis can potentially be addressed by utilizing permanent magnets without extra energy consumption, but the underlying mechanism of magnetic field effects is still puzzling despite increasing efforts in last few years. In this work, by dip-coating a superhydrophilic γ-Fe2O3 layer onto different electrode substrates, their surface wettability and magnetism are modified, so the ever-tangled effects of magnetic field are separated and iden...

Using photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce green hydrogen from solar energy is a potentially practical approach. Unfortunately, the slow water oxidation reaction and very low charge separation efficiency of contemporary PEC systems make them unsuitable for practical applications.

Hydrogen is a highly combustible gas that can help the world achieve its clean energy goals if manufactured in an environmentally responsible way. The primary hurdle to creating hydrogen gas from ...

Researchers from the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have discovered a way to use light to accelerate proton transport through graphene, which could revolutionise the w ...

Researchers around the world are working on more efficient methods for producing hydrogen. Hydrogen could make a decisive contribution to reducing the consumption of fossil raw materials, especial ...

A research team from City University of Hong Kong has developed a groundbreaking electrocatalyst that significantly enhances hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting.

Researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society conducted experiments using atomically defined model pre-catalysts to unveil intricate deta ...

Morphological and functional modifications allow graphene to be applied as promising electrode support for improved electrochemical cell performance. Typically, however, modification requires complicated steps with various organic additives, such as binders, which causes low electrochemical stability, especially under harsh pH conditions. Herein, we introduce self-supported and long-term stable water splitting electrodes based on nanoparticles (NPs) decoration on three-dimensional porous laser-i...

Green hydrogen can be produced directly in a photoelectrochemical cell, splitting water with solar energy. However, this requires the development of super-efficient photoelectrodes that need to co ...
