Cheap Catalyst Could Turn Sunlight, Water Into Fuel
August 1, 2008 /
Nocera2 A new catalyst makes it feasible to split water with solar power.
MIT chemists say the catalyst, used in conjunction with cheap photovoltaic solar panels, could lead to inexpensive, simple systems that use water to store the energy from sunlight.
