We all know the equation – hydrogen plus oxygen equals water. But now scientists have captured molecular-scale video of that famous meeting in action, which could lead to a new way to generate large ...

University of Alberta (U of A) researchers have discovered a method to harness sunlight and specialized materials to cleanly and efficiently split water into hydrogen and oxygen. If scaled, this could ...

Hydrogen is a much-debated option in terms of CO₂-neutral energy production. Electrolyzer units that split water into its ...

Photocatalytic water splitting is a clean energy technology that uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in order to produce green hydrogen—a clean fuel—without relying on fossil fuels.

Researchers have developed a cheap device that uses a 1.5-volt battery to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The gas could be used to power fuel cells in zero-emissions vehicles. Researchers have ...

To explore the reason why water splitting suffers from inefficiency, the researchers applied a sophisticated new light-based technique called phase-resolved second harmonic generation. Shown here, the ...

Joe Powell from the University of Houston Energy Transition Institute, explores hydrogen as an energy carrier. “Jules Verne first imagined using hydrogen from water in his 1875 novel "Mysterious ...

In the future, we could fuel the world with sunlight and water – using sunlight to derive hydrogen fuel from H2O. Currently, most hydrogen that’s used as feedstock and fuel is derived from natural gas ...

The big picture: Most hydrogen production still relies on natural gas. However, a new technique that uses only sunlight and water could allow humanity to move away from using fossil fuels to produce ...
