Photochemical oxidation could create sustainable energy from water
Researchers from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, believe water has the potential to provide future sustainable energy sources through a process of photochemical oxidation, a process that uses light to split water molecules.
The study builds on previous research at the Institute of Tokyo, Japan, that has explored using different catalysts and conditions to split water into its component oxygen and hydrogen parts using sunlight. Different catalysts have been trialled producing a wide variety of results, and while each study suggested the method had potential to produce clean hydrogen, the catalysts used had resulted in drawbacks.
