Inexpensive driver utilizes energy from light to turn ammonia into hydrogen fuel.
A crucial light-activated nanomaterial for the hydrogen economy has actually been crafted by scientists at RiceUniversity Using just low-cost basic materials, researchers produced a scalable driver that requires just the power of light to transform ammonia into clean-burning hydrogen fuel.
“This discovery paves the way for sustainable, low-cost hydrogen that could be produced locally rather than in massive centralized plants.”– Peter Nordlander
The research study, which was released on November 24 in the journal Science, was performed by a group from Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics, Syzygy Plasmonics Inc., and
