The process of using solar energy to produce hydrogen, often integrated with fuel cell technology for a self-sustaining system.

An indigenous cooking and micro-power generation system developed collaboratively by IIT (ISM) and IOCL, integrating hydrogen technology with solar power for rural households. The system replaces traditional biomass-burning stoves with hydrogen-powered cooking infrastructure.

A novel catalyst material engineered by integrating molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and vanadium sulfides (VS) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), creating a highly conductive electrocatalytic system. The material is composed entirely of earth-abundant elements rather than precious metals.
