Using the sun's energy, a photoelectrochemical device (PEC), a type of solar cell, can break down water molecules more efficiently than other methods, in order to produce hydrogen. In a new study, the researchers developed a facility that is resistant to corrosion and thus brings us closer to an environmentally friendly hydrogen economy. Source: pixabay.

Diagram 2 - Demonstration of the technology developed at the Technion: the oxygen and hydrogen are created and stored in completely separate cells. According to Abigail, it is possible to replace one of the electrodes (anode) with a light-sensitive electrode (photo-anode), so that the conversion of water and solar energy into hydrogen fuel will be carried out directly, that is, in one process.
