Scientists Just Found a New Way to Make Hydrogen From Water

Summary by Science Daily
A new light-activated material can efficiently produce hydrogen from water without requiring an additional expensive metal catalyst. Researchers say its unusual sulfur-based chemistry could point toward cheaper and more practical ways to turn sunlight into clean fuel.

Engineers at Oregon State University have developed the BVR-19 crystal, which uses sunlight to split water and produce hydrogen without the need for expensive metal catalysts. Sulfur-sulfur bonds directly facilitate electron flow in light; the design is expected to reduce the cost of green hydrogen.

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a new material that extracts hydrogen from water using sunlight. It involves a so-called metal-organic framework, MOF for short, in which not the metal but the organic part does the work. No expensive precious metal is required, and the material forms spontaneously in water at room temperature. It is still laboratory work, but it yields design rules that could make green hydrogen cheaper in t…

Researchers at Oregon State University have created a new material (the BVR-19) capable of transforming water into combustible gas using only sunlight. This major advance allows for the production of low-cost green fuel, without the use of precious metals or electricity, threatening the profitability of current fossil methods.
