Solar-Driven Water Splitting: A Stabilized, Intrinsically Safe, 10% Efficient, Solar-Driven Water-Splitting Cell Incorporating Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts with Steady-State pH Gradients and Product Separation Enabled by a Bipolar Membrane (Adv. Energy Mater. 13/2016)
文摘
The energy of sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of a fuel by an artificial photosynthetic cell that converts sunlight and water to hydrogen fuel and oxygen gas. In article number 1600379, Nathan S. Lewis, Chengxiang Xiang, and co-workers describe an efficient, integrated, and inherently safe water-splitting system that incorporates a bipolar membrane to enforce the separation of hydrogen and oxygen while allowing the flow of ionic current.
