A component of solar panels responsible for converting sunlight into electrical power.

Electrochemical capacitors capable of storing massive electrical charges and discharging energy much faster than batteries.

Uses electricity to split water and produce hydrogen fuel using nickel, iron, and cobalt catalysts.

California

A research project to develop a device that combines a supercapacitor and solar cell to produce and store hydrogen fuel using affordable materials (nickel, iron, cobalt).

A device that combines a supercapacitor with a solar cell to produce and store hydrogen fuel. Uses nickel, iron, and cobalt catalysts instead of platinum. Scalable for applications ranging from small electronics to fuel cell vehicles to large-scale city energy storage.
