    Generating hydrogen and clean water

  • Multi-purpose wonder can generate hydrogen, produce clean water and even provide energy - A new wonder material can generate hydrogen, produce clean water and even provide energy. Science fiction? Hardly, and there's more -- It can also desalinate water, be used as flexible water filtration membranes, help recover energy from desalination waste brine, be made into flexible solar cells and can also double the lifespan of lithium ion batteries. With its superior bacteria-killing capabilities, it can also be used to develop a new type of antibacterial bandage.(10.1016/j.watres.2011.12.009)

    Hydrogen fuel? Thin films of nickel and iron oxides yield efficient solar water-splitting catalyst

  • Hydrogen fuel? Thin films of nickel and iron oxides yield efficient solar water-splitting catalyst - Chemists say that ultra-thin films of nickel and iron oxides made through a solution synthesis process are promising catalysts to combine with semiconductors to make devices that capture sunlight and convert water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.(10.1021/jz4002604)
