Green Hydrogen Gets Greener With Record-Breaking Solar Device

Rice University engineers have created a device that “turns sunlight into hydrogen” with record-breaking efficiency. The device integrates next-generation halide perovskite semiconductors with electrocatalysts in a single, durable, cost-effective and scalable device. The press release believes the engineers have set a new standard for hydrogen technology. The device is factually a solar driven water splitting cell. According to a study published in Nature Communications, the device achieved a 20.8% solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency.…
