Artificial photosynthesis is one step close to producing fuel utilizing the same basic chemical process seen in plants.
California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researchers have developed a new electrically-conductive film that could aid in developing devices that can separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Following this process, hydrogen can be stored in fuel cells capable of powering vehicles and production plants.
The nickel oxide layer assists in the production of hydrogen or methane in artificial leaves and prevents the buildup of rust on the devices.
