Chalmers University Develops Platinum-Free Method for Solar Hydrogen Production
HYDROGEN
A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed a method to produce hydrogen from sunlight and water without using platinum. This approach utilizes tiny particles of electrically conductive plastic, resulting in an efficient and sustainable process that can produce up to 30 liters of hydrogen per gram of polymer in one hour. The research aims to eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and achieve water splitting using only sunlight and water.
