Solar cell bonded to recently developed catalyst can harness the sun, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Cambridge, Massachusetts–(ENEWSPF)–September 30, 2011.
An ‘artificial leaf’ made by Daniel Nocera and his team, using a silicon solar cell with novel catalyst materials bonded to its two sides, is shown in a container of water with light (simulating sunlight) shining on it. The light generates a flow of electricity that causes the water molecules, with the…
