Description

Hydrogen production through water splitting is an excellent potential source of clean energy for the future, providing it can be generated from renewable energy sources. An attractive approach is to use the abundance of solar energy that reaches the earth every day to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen (a by-product). Catalysts are a very important component of efforts to design and develop efficient water splitting technologies. Ideally, these catalysts need to operate at low over potentials and be able to be coupled to systems that harness solar energy to achieve light-driven water splitting. Moreover, for such technologies to have maximum practical utility, the components of water splitting devices need to be made from cheap and abundant materials. Our efforts have been directed at the development of non noble metal ion based catalysts for the energetically demanding and mechanistically complex water oxidation reaction which can be coupled with catalysts for proton reduction to achieve water splitting.
