Electrocatalysts play a key role in enabling hydrogen generation through water splitting. Among the latest materials under investigation, two-dimensional (2D) materials known as MXenes have shown ...

Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, but splitting water to make it has ...

Japanese researchers are closing in on a long promised energy dream, using only sunlight and water to generate clean hydrogen fuel with no smokestacks or power cables in sight. Their latest technology ...

Researchers have developed a novel method using facet-selective, ultrafine cocatalysts to efficiently split water to create hydrogen -- a clean source of fuel. Scientists are urgently searching for ...

Researchers tracked real-time light-induced charge on gold nanorods, modeling them as capacitors, aiding CO2 reduction, water splitting, and solar energy conversion.

Electrolytic hydrogen production through water splitting is a crucial technology for achieving carbon neutrality. The core processes involved are the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a stable catalyst suitable for practical use. This stability was achieved through an in-depth study of "reconstruction," a complex chemical and ...

The material can effectively capture sunlight, using the solar energy for hydrogen production through the photochemical water splitting reaction. Image Credit: Olov Planthaber The material works by ...
