#New method stabilizes common semiconductors for solar fuels generation Researchers around the world are trying to develop solar-driven generators that can split water yielding hydrogen gas that could be used as clean fuel.

The finding paves the way for the use of these materials in solar fuel generators. For the better part of a half century these materials have been considered off the table for this kind of use says Nate Lewis the George L. Argyros Professor and professor of chemistry at Caltech and the principal investigator on the paper.

In the type of integrated solar fuel generator that JCAP is striving to produce two half-reactions must take placene involving the oxidation of water to produce oxygen gas;

what was needed for this solar fuel generator application Deposited as a film ranging in thickness between 4 and 143 nanometers the Tio2 remained optically transparent on the semiconductor crystalsllowing them to absorb lightnd protected them from corrosion

New photocathode with several advantages Under the"Light2hydrogen"BMBF Cluster project and an ongoing"Solar H2"DFG Priority programme, a team from the HZB Institute for Solar fuels has developed now a novel photoelectrode

The new solar fuel generation system, or artificial leaf, is described in the August 24 online issue of the journal Energy and Environmental science.

and materials components needed for an integrated solar fuels generator.""The new system consists of three main components:

The new complete solar fuel generation system developed by Lewis and colleagues uses such a 62.5-nanometer-thick Tio2 layer to effectively prevent corrosion

even when using systems called solar fuel cells solar cells immersed in the water it splitting. Now researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology in The netherlands and the Dutch Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) report in the 17 july issue of Nature Communications that they have improved tenfold the hydrogen producing capacity of a solar fuel cell.

The key was to use a photocathodehe electrode that supplies electrons when illuminated by sunlightade from an array of gallium phosphide nanowires.

In short, for a solar fuels future we cannot ignore gallium phosphide any longer, he added. i

#Porous Silicon Battery electrodes from Reeds Natural structures in reed leaves could find use in advanced lithium-ion batteries,

#Gallium Phosphide Nanowires Significantly Increase Efficiency of Solar fuel Cells The solar cell made of gallium phosphide (Gap) generates clean fuel hydrogen gas from Water gap is a compound containing phosphide and gallium which also acts

If these reactions produce fuel, then solar fuels would become a promising alternative for polluting fuels.

#Sticky-Flare Nanotechnology Reveals RNA Misregulation in Living Cells A new technology--called"Sticky-flares"--developed by nanomedicine experts at Northwestern University offers the first real-time method to track

the latter being considered a form of solar fuel. However, the cost of producing efficient solar panels makes water-splitting technologies too expensive to commercialize.

#Nanowires give'solar fuel cell'efficiency a tenfold boost: Eindhoven researchers make important step towards a solar cell that generates hydrogen A solar cell that produces fuel rather than electricity.

then one speaks of solar fuels-a hugely promising replacement for polluting fuels. One of the possibilities is to split liquid water using the electricity that is generated (electrolysis.

Solar fuel cell To connect an existing silicon solar cell to a battery that splits the water may well be an efficient solution now

'This offers new hope that efficient and inexpensive solar fuel production by readily available natural resources is within reach,

like an all-in-one solar fuel cell, but semiconductor materials aren cheap either. A team Eindhoven University of Technology investigated the potential of gallium phosphide (Gap),

but they discovered a whole new way to make solar fuel.""This immediately boosted the yield of hydrogen by a factor of 10 to 2. 9 percent,

when it comes to producing solar fuel, but the cost of the system, because if it not cheaper than what we already get from fossil fuels,

In short, for a solar fuels future we cannot ignore gallium phosphide any longer.""The results have been published in Nature Communications u
