  • Green hydrogen is an excellent resource for weening humanity off of fossil fuels, but making it currently uses too much renewable energy. A new method being explored by Japanese researchers would primarily use sunlight and a photocatalyst to separate hydrogen and oxygen in water.

The article from Popular Mechanics discusses a breakthrough in green hydrogen production by researchers at the University of Michigan. They have developed a new method to produce hydrogen using sunlight, which could significantly reduce the cost and environmental impact of hydrogen production. Traditionally, hydrogen is produced through methods that emit large amounts of CO2, but this new approach uses a catalyst made from a combination of iron, cobalt, and manganese, which is activated by sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process not only avoids the use of expensive and rare materials like platinum but also does not require the high energy inputs of conventional electrolysis. The innovation promises to make green hydrogen—a clean fuel that can be used in various industries including transportation and energy storage—more economically viable and environmentally friendly, potentially accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
