Solar Step Forward For Green Hydrogen

Another advance has been made by experts in nano-scale chemistry to propel further development of sustainable and efficient generation of hydrogen from water using solar power.

Flinders University Professor of Physical Chemistry and Nanotechnology, Gunther Andersson.

In a new international collaborative study - led by Flinders University with collaborators in South Australia, the US and Germany - experts have identified a novel solar cell process to potentially use in future technologies for photocatalytic water splitting in green hydrogen production.

Combined with a catalyst - developed by US research led by Professor Paul Maggard - for water splitting, the study found the new class of kinetically stable 'core and shell Sn(II)-perovskite' oxide solar material could be a potential catalyst for the critical oxygen evolution reaction in producing pollution-free hydrogen energy in future.
