By Hannah Esrock–
U of L’s Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research has shown that solar energy can create clean hydrogen fuel by converting water vapor from the air.
The journal for Energy and Environmental Science recently published “Solar hydrogen production from seawater vapor electrolysis” by Conn Center researchers Sudesh Kumari, R. Turner White, Bijandra Kumar and Joshua Spurgeon. The article details a proof-of-concept system that could operate stably and efficiently at realistic conditions at the ocean’s surface.
