The process of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen using energy, in this case, from solar cells.

A process used for blue hydrogen production, which is paired with carbon capture and storage.

An alternative industrial hydrogen production method using coal as the feedstock.

Research project to develop an inexpensive catalyst composed of iron and dinickel phosphides on nickel foam for hydrogen fuel production from water splitting.

A novel catalytic material for water splitting hydrogen production, composed of iron and dinickel phosphides deposited on commercially available nickel foam. The catalyst performs both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, reducing energy requirements and production costs.
