Technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only byproduct.

A prototype solar cell composed of gallium phosphide material that converts sunlight directly into hydrogen fuel rather than electrical power.

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.
