New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a "capping-and-coupling" strategy to transform naturally occurring (native) sugars directly into compounds known as ...

Over the past 20 years, green hydrogen produced using sunlight has gained considerable attention as a promising pathway toward a low-carbon future. Among the various solar-driven methods for H2 ...

Study demonstrats a new strategy for engineering the surface and functional properties of 2D SrTiO2 perovskite nanoplatelets ...

A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny ...

Vacancy oxidation remains the dominant decay pathway; the team is now exploring in-situ vacancy regeneration and anti-fouling coatings to push lifetime beyond 1 000 h. This work provides a ...

Fortescue-backed start-up Sparc Hydrogen has started hydrogen production at its pilot photocatalytic water splitting plant in South Australia. The plant at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy ...

Electro- and photocatalytic materials are central to enabling sustainable energy conversion processes such as water splitting, CO 2 reduction, oxygen reduction, and ammonia synthesis. These reactions ...

In recent years, photocatalytic technology has emerged as a promising approach for converting solar energy into storable hydrogen fuel, demonstrating significant application potential in the fields of ...
