Solar energy can be directly converted into the universal storage medium of hydrogen.
Berlin: Scientists in Germany have developed the first complete and compact artificial photosynthesis system that uses solar power to split water and produce hydrogen fuel.
Solar energy can be directly converted into the universal storage medium of hydrogen. This process was first investigated in the 1970s, but has only begun to attract increasing attention in recent years.
Research has focused on materials science for new absorber materials and catalysts to further improve efficiency.
