Sunlight-Powered Catalyst Supercharges Green Hydrogen Production by 800%​

"Swedish engineers have improved the process through which hydrogen fuel is produced from solar electricity by 800%.
Hydrogen fuel is considered one of the best renewable alternatives to fossil fuels in heavy machinery like planes and ships, but its creation requires electricity.
That electricity can be from renewable sources like solar or wind, but the efficiency is limited. Now, according to researchers at Linköping University, a combination of materials has greatly improved the ability to generate hydrogen with solar energy.
The research team has previously shown that a material called cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) has beneficial properties for facilitating the reaction where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The material can effectively capture the sunlight so that the energy therein can be used for hydrogen production through the photochemical water splitting reaction.
In their current study, the researchers have further developed a new combined material consisting of three layers: a layer of cubic silicon carbide, a layer of cobalt oxide and a catalyst material that helps to split water."
