Indian Scientists Develop Scalable Device for Green Hydrogen Production
Scientists have made a new device that can make clean fuel called green hydrogen using only sunlight.
This device is made of special materials that can split water into hydrogen, which can be used for energy.
The materials used are cheap and easy to find.
The device works very well, lasts a long time, and can be made big enough to be used in factories and homes.
This new technology could help us use more clean energy from the sun instead of other fuels.
Indian scientists developed a scalable device to produce green hydrogen.
The device uses solar energy and earth-abundant materials to split water molecules.
It is based on a silicon-based photoanode with a heterojunction architecture.
The device showed high efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
The technology could potentially power hydrogen-based energy systems.
