A new
water splitter, which produces hydrogen for fuel cells, works without requiring fossil fuels or precious metals.
But in 2014, Stanford chemist Hongjie Dai developed
a water splitter made of inexpensive nickel and iron that runs on an ordinary 1.5 - volt battery.
«Single - catalyst
water splitter produces clean - burning hydrogen 24/7.»
«
Our water splitter is unique, because we only use one catalyst, nickel - iron oxide, for both electrodes,» said graduate student Haotian Wang, lead author of the study.
Stanford University scientists have invented a low - cost
water splitter that uses a single catalyst to produce both hydrogen and oxygen gas 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
«We built a conventional
water splitter with two benchmark catalysts, one platinum and one iridium,» Wang said.
A new
water splitter powered by a single AAA battery could reduce the carbon pollution created from making hydrogen fuel cells, scientists report August 22 in Nature Communications.
In conventional
water splitters, the hydrogen and oxygen catalysts often require different electrolytes with different pH — one acidic, one alkaline — to remain stable and active.
Unlike conventional
water splitters, the Stanford device uses a single low - cost catalyst to generate hydrogen bubbles on one electrode and oxygen bubbles on the other.
But now we may be tantalisingly close to having economically viable sun - powered
water splitters, and with it all the clean - burning fuel we want.
Previous direct solar
water splitters have achieved a little more than 1 percent stable solar - to - hydrogen efficiency in fresh or saltwater.
