The Hydrogen Stream: Water splitting with solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 12%
A Japanese team is working on a solar water splitting system with a 12% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency, while UK researchers have identified the reason why graphene’s dense crystalline structure is much more permeable to protons.
Acme signs land agreement for green hydrogen, ammonia project in Odisha
Acme Group will set up a green hydrogen and ammonia project at Tata Steel Special Economic Zone Ltd’s Gopalpur Industrial Park in the Ganjam district. The land agreement sets aside 343 acres of land for the project.
Monolithic perovskite-PERC tandem solar cell with 23.7% efficiency
Dutch scientists have developed a perovskite-PERC tandem solar cell based on a new type of tunnel recombination junction that reportedly offers an improved device efficiency distribution. The cell uses a nickel(II) oxide layer that is intended to reduce electrical shunts in the perovskite top cell.
