Funded Activity Summary

An Innovative Solid-State Approach to Enhanced Solar-Hydrogen Production. The project will make a major step towards the development of solar-hydrogen technology, which promises to deliver a clean and renewable fuel - hydrogen - from water (seawater or other) using sunlight and a suitable photo-catalytic material. Not only will solar-hydrogen assist Australia to reduce its dependence on imported energy, but will also reduce Australia's carbon emissions and overall contribution to climate change. When commercialized, solar-hydrogen technology may also enable Australia to become a global leader in the export of clean fuel, which will have very positive, far-reaching consequences for the economy.
