HyperSolar conducts much of its research and development outside of the University of Iowa, and water from the Iowa River, located there, is used in their prototype demonstration.
The University of Iowa partnered with HyperSolar to improve its solar cell technology, which has resulted in a tripling of the solar cell's performance.
The University of Iowa has aided HyperSolar in reaching new milestones in 2016, specifically in the development of wet-chemical synthetic routes for manufacturing technologies that use solar power to generate hydrogen.
The University of Iowa is partnering with HyperSolar to support its research and development initiatives in hydrogen production. The university has a known history of supporting renewable energy research.
