Breakthrough Device Uses Sunlight And Water To Produce Low-Cost Green Hydrogen And Drinking Water

By: Volodymyr Sliesariev, Journalist
These new devices is called hybrid solar distillation-water electrolysis and uses a process called photoelectrochemical water splitting, which mimics photosynthesis. Special semiconductor materials absorb sunlight and use that energy to initiate chemical reactions that break down water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂).
