A new study by Berkeley Lab researchers at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) shows that nearly 90 - percent of the electrons generated by a hybrid material designed to store solar energy in hydrogen are being stored in
the target hydrogen molecules.

Early in 1969, Snyder and Buhl set up shop at NRAO's Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and chose their first
target: formaldehyde, an organic
molecule made up of two
hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom tethered to an atom of carbon.
They then analyzed the effectiveness of these complexes in activating
hydrogen for transfer to
targets molecules identified by computation.
Methods: The team
targeted the reaction that turns two protons and two electrons into a
molecule of
hydrogen with the help of the catalysts developed at PNNL in the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis.
A JCAP study shows that nearly 90 - percent of the electrons generated by a semiconductor / cobaloxime hybrid catalyst designed to store solar energy in
hydrogen are being stored in their intended
target molecules.
