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

A process being researched to replicate natural photosynthesis for the production of alternative fuels like hydrogen. It aims to give alternative fuels the strength needed to break the world's reliance on fossil fuels.

A water-splitting device that converts sunlight and water into both hydrogen fuel and electricity simultaneously. It uses silicon with dual electrical contacts on the back surface to split current into two pathways.
