Alloy could create inexpensive hydrogen, By Ubergizmo. Using an alloy that is formed by replacing 2% of the antimony in gallium nitride, it is said to have the right electrical properties that enables solar light energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen through a process known as photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.
A team of scientists in Kentucky has claimed that they’ve managed to “tweak” an inexpensive semiconductor to generate hydrogen from water using sunlight. Top Stories : Motorola Photon 4G Review, Xperia Play Review,
Since the alloy isn’t consumed in the process – it only works as a catalyst for the reaction, it can be reused indefinitely.
