The question then became: could this composite electrode
efficiently spur the chemical reaction that rearranges
hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water?
University of Houston physicists have discovered a catalyst that can split water into
hydrogen and oxygen, composed of easily available, low - cost materials
and operating far more
efficiently than previous catalysts.
«When this specially engineered wafer is hit by photons, the electric field helps separate photogenerated electrons
and holes to drive the production of
hydrogen and oxygen molecules
efficiently,» Chowdhury says.
«The Holy Grail of solar research is to use sunlight
efficiently and directly to «split» water into its elemental constituents -
hydrogen and oxygen -
and then use the
hydrogen as a clean fuel,» said Gray.
