Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...

In a recent article published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers introduced a new approach using composite materials made from titanium dioxide (TiO₂) combined with a ...

As part of ongoing efforts to develop materials that could enable alternative energy sources, researchers have produced a titanium oxide nanofilament material that can harness sunlight to unlock the ...

Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic ...

When burned or used in fuel cells, hydrogen produces nothing but water, making it an ideal candidate for reducing global carbon emissions. Yet, most of the hydrogen produced today comes from fossil ...

Hydrogen bonds, best known for holding water molecules and biological structures together, are now shown to play a powerful role in solar energy conversion. In a study published in National Science ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of a hybrid silicon photocatalyst. A team of researchers, led by Professor Jungki Ryu in the School of Energy and Chemical ...

A fundamental breakthrough in chemistry promises to unlock ammonia as a clean fuel, and it could help decarbonize the entire chemical industry in the process. Rice University researchers have created ...

Clean energy plans, including the U.S. Infrastructure Investment Act’s “Clean Hydrogen Road Map,” are counting on hydrogen as a fuel of the future. But current hydrogen separation technology is still ...
