UNIST Develops Artificial Leaf for Hydrogen Production Using Indoor LED Light
HYDROGEN
Researchers at UNIST have created an artificial leaf that efficiently produces hydrogen using indoor LED lighting, achieving 94% performance retention over 12 hours. The innovation utilizes a sulfide-nickel catalyst and a specially designed photoelectrode to convert indoor light, which constitutes 19% of global electricity use, into clean hydrogen.
