Changes to platinum surface chemistry boost solar hydrogen production in organic photocatalysts
Scientists have found a way to make a type of material work better at turning sunlight into hydrogen gas by changing its surface chemistry. The researchers achieved this by understanding how certain substances affect the material's behavior. This improvement increases the efficiency of the process.
Why it's good news: It brings us closer to more efficient and sustainable ways to generate clean energy.
