Light-powered catalyst to make hydrogen

Hydrogen is essential for energy transition, as long as it is produced from renewable sources (green hydrogen). A team from the UPC and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) have now designed an efficient and stable photocatalyst capable of producing hydrogen directly using sunlight. The results are published in the journal Nature Communications.
