Until now, Solar power was used to create energy two ways: photovoltaics or solar-thermal. Thanks to Nanoptek's new experimental technology, solar energy may soon be used to generate Hydrogen, which in turn can power Hydrogen fuel cells. Scientists believe it is the first successful method of producing carbon-free Hydrogen.
Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed new ways to make or to modify nanorods and nanotubes of titanium oxide (TiO2). The methods and new titanium oxide materials may lead to improved catalysts for hydrogen production, more efficient solar cells, and more protective sunscreens.
An efficient, super-fast new method of turning waste biomass into hydrogen has been developed by scientists in Minnesota, US. The researchers say it could help significantly reduce many nations’ dependence on fossil fuels.
