Splitting the sea: turning ocean water into hydrogen fuel (using artificial chlorophyll)
http://media.uow.edu.au/news/UOW150897.html[font face=Serif][font size=5]Splitting the sea: turning ocean water into hydrogen fuel[/font]
[font size=3]…
The research team at UOW’s Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) have developed a light-assisted catalyst that requires less energy input to activate water oxidation, which is the first step in splitting water to produce hydrogen fuel.
…
The research team, led by Associate Professor Jun Chen and Professor Gerry Swiegers, have produced an artificial chlorophyll on a conductive plastic film that acts as a catalyst to begin splitting water.
The results were recently published in the journal Chemical Science.
…
The development brings UOW’s energy research a step closer to creating an artificial leaf-like device that can efficiently produce hydrogen.
