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 ...

Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, but splitting water to make it has ...

Researchers in Sweden have developed a powerful new material that dramatically boosts the ability to create hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight, making the process eight times more effective than ...

In recent years, photocatalytic technology has emerged as a promising approach for converting solar energy into storable hydrogen fuel, demonstrating significant application potential in the fields of ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role in future energy systems, which makes a clear understanding of electrolysis ...

Electrolytic hydrogen production through water splitting is a crucial technology for achieving carbon neutrality. The core processes involved are the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen ...

Hydrogen is widely seen as a key energy source for the future, which makes it critical to understand how water is split during electrolysis ...

Two 150 mL cylindrical glass chambers sit on a ledge outdoors. Inside each chamber is an electrode submerged in a cloudy tan liquid. The electrodes are connected to a solar panel sitting behind them.

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...
