Hydrogen fuel is a promising alternative to fossil fuels that only emits water vapor when used and could thus help to lower ...

Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...

Solar water splitting is one of the most direct ways to produce green hydrogen using sunlight. However, most photocatalysts ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

Researchers at ICMS in Seville have developed a hybrid perovskite solar cell that generates electricity from both sunlight and raindrops, using the photovoltaic and triboelectric effects. A ...

A new innovation from the University of Turku saw a team of researchers use red onion skin to develop an ultra-thin ...

As solar power becomes the fastest growing source of energy in the United States, it has matured from a growth-first industry to one attempting to balance ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels ...

Solar panels on the road. What could go wrong? This tech may seem like a good idea to create sustainable energy, but it isn't quite ready for the real world.
