Researchers from Bangalore have developed a new generation device to produce green hydrogen by splitting water molecules using solar energy and available natural materials. This is reported Indo-Asian News Service (IANS), partner of TV BRICS.
It is noted that the development does not require fossil fuels or expensive resources. As noted by the head of the study, Dr. Ashutush K. Singh, thanks to the use of smart materials, managed to achieve high efficiency and make the technology suitable for mass production.
According to the agency, the device works on the basis of a special silicon element of three layers, which help to better capture sunlight and efficiently transmit energy to produce hydrogen.
The device has shown good results: when exposed to light, it generates enough voltage and has a low initial potential, and is also able to work stably more than 10 hours with minimal performance loss. In addition, the successful operation of the device on a large scale was demonstrated – the photonane of 25 cm2 confidently coped with the task of solar cleavage of water.
The team of scientists believes that in the future the development can become the basis of environmentally friendly hydrogen systems for energy, transport and industry.
