Chemists at The University of Texas at Arlington have been the first to demonstrate that an organic semiconductor polymer called polyaniline is a promising photocathode material for the conversion of carbon dioxide into alcohol fuels without the need for a co-catalyst. (sciencedaily.com)
NREL shows graded catalytic - protective layer boosts longevity of high - efficiency photocathodes for renewable hydrogen (greencarcongress.com)
Currently, the majority of the required voltage between the composite photocathode and a platinum counter electrode of around 1.8 volts is still coming from a battery. (sciencedaily.com)
