The Hydrogen Industry's Efficiency Problem May Have Just Met Its Fix

A team of researchers in Germany has discovered a highly efficient way to convert sunlight into hydrogen fuel, potentially solving some of the most critical challenges facing the green hydrogen sector and offering an elegant solution to clean up some of the economy’s dirtiest industries.

The new prototype, which uses a kind of solar cell used in spacecraft, is a proof-of-concept for what could someday make the production of totally clean-burning fuel a commercially scalable possibility.
