Breakthrough: 70% Power Savings in Sunlight-Driven Hydrogen Production

Paris, Monday, 18 November 2024.
Scientists have achieved a remarkable leap in green hydrogen production using a novel Pt-Ru decorated WO3 photocatalyst. The hybrid system, operating under natural sunlight, slashes electricity consumption by 70% compared to conventional methods. This breakthrough could bridge the cost gap between grey hydrogen (1.3–2.3 $/kg) and green hydrogen (5.8–6 $/kg), marking a significant step towards sustainable fuel production.
