Photocatalytic water splitting is a clean energy technology that uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in order to produce green hydrogen—a clean fuel—without relying on fossil fuels.

Titanium dioxide is a promising photocatalyst for water splitting, but it suffers from low visible light activity due to its wide band gap. Doping can narrow the band gap of titanium dioxide; however, ...

Photocatalytic water splitting is a clean energy technology that uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in order to produce green hydrogen—a clean fuel—without relying on fossil fuels.

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a scandium (Sc)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO 2) semiconductor in the rutile crystal phase. Schematic diagram of TiO 2 facet control and ...

Solar energy is clean and abundant, but when the sun isn't shining, you must store the energy in batteries or through a process called photocatalysis. In photocatalytic water splitting, sunlight ...

(Nanowerk News) Urbanization and industrialization have led to escalating environmental issues, with dye wastewater, due to its high toxicity, posing a significant challenge. Traditional treatment ...

Hydrogen is seen as an energy source of the future – at least, when it is produced in a climate-friendly way. Hydrogen can also be important for the production of active ingredients and other ...
