Polymer nanoparticles drive platinum free solar hydrogen

Gothenburg, Sweden (SPX) Jan 08, 2026
Hydrogen is seen as a central energy carrier in future low carbon systems because its use produces only water, but large scale deployment still depends on cleaner and more abundant production methods. A team led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now reports a photocatalytic approach that generates hydrogen gas from water and sunlight without using the scarce and costly metal platinu
