Researchers unveil new artificial photosynthesis method for hydrogen production

A novel artificial photosynthesis method has been created by a collaborative research team from the Universities of Florida and South Carolina that uses the sun’s energy to manufacture hydrogen rather than carbs.

In this mixture, there are two molecules: naphthol, an organic fluorescent chemical, and photoredox, a catalyst that transfers electrons with light.

Each molecule absorbs photons and collaborates to produce hydrogen when exposed to sunlight, simulating the natural photosynthesis process.

The efficiency of this system is just 5%, which may not seem like much, but it is still promise for the future. It is now required to look for ways to increase efficiency and apply the technology to create alternative fuels.

It originates from newer methods of manufacturing hydrogen, such as those developed at RMIT University in Australia, where Yemima Ehrnst’s team was able to increase one of the old ways of doing so by a factor of 14.

Water molecules can be broken up using high-frequency vibrations produced by sound waves, which will cause them to release a considerably greater amount of hydrogen.

In order to do electrolysis, electricity must be passed through water between two electrodes, splitting the molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, which will appear as bubbles next to each electrode.

ultrasound As a result, significantly less expensive electrode materials, like silver, can be used instead of corrosive electrolytes and pricey electrodes like platinum or iridium. Since this approach results in a net energy increase of 27%, hydrogen can be produced from any source.
