Weizmann Institute Scientists Develop a Unique Approach for Splitting Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/chemistry/weizmann-institute-scientists-develop-unique-approach-splitting-water-hydrogen-and-oxygen
April 6, 2009
The design of efficient systems for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight is among the most important challenges facing science today, underpinning the long term potential of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel. But man-made systems that exist today are v...
