Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without ...

Electrocatalysts play a key role in enabling hydrogen generation through water splitting. Among the latest materials under investigation, two-dimensional (2D) materials known as MXenes have shown ...

Electrochemical catalysts used in water splitting often show poor performance due to low electrical conductance of (oxy)hydroxide species produced in situ. To overcome this challenge, researchers have ...

To explore the reason why water splitting suffers from inefficiency, the researchers applied a sophisticated new light-based technique called phase-resolved second harmonic generation. Shown here, the ...

University of Michigan researchers developed a new photocatalytic water splitting system that is reportedly able to reach a 9.2% solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency. The proposed system uses the higher ...
