Hydrogen production by means of sunlight

Development of semiconductors to lower production costs

Funded project: DSCR

Photo-electro-chemical splitting of water on semiconductor surfaces is a promising, sustainable technology for hydrogen production. However, today’s methods are still comparatively inefficient and production costs therefore high. The project will centre on developing new, more efficient semiconductors that will lower production costs.
