Highlight: Researchers Develop More Efficient Conversion Method For Solar Energy
The HDIAC Currents are now available
The Currents newsletter is a biweekly digest of news from worldwide sources, showing headlines of innovative, emerging technologies in HDIAC's eight focus areas.
“Researchers at the University of Twente's MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology have made significant efficiency improvements to the technology used to generate solar fuels. This involves the direct conversion of energy from sunlight into a usable fuel (in this case, hydrogen). Using only earth-abundant materials, they developed the most efficient conversion method to date. The trick was to decouple the site where sunlight is captured from the site where the conversion reaction takes place.”
