Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are working on a system that uses small amounts of otherwise waste energy to convert water into hydrogen fuel. The process is simple and recycles waste that wouldn’t be used ordinarily. “This study provides a simple and cost-effective technology for direct water splitting that may generate hydrogen fuels [...]
