Hydrogen Production Makes Cars Cheaper

The University of Michigan has conducted research on the use of hydrogen and the researchers in this university found it hydrogen is produced for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HCEVs), it is easy and affordable to run the cars on it. They claim that Hydrogen Production Makes Cars Cheaper.

Hydrogen can be used in internal combustion engines in replacement of petrol, which is clean, non-toxic, and renewable. But there is one small problem the production of hydrogen is en masse to replace petrol. Gas is created through electrolysis or from natural gas and both methods have some shortcomings. If hydrogen is produced in the sun, it is a very effective way and the researchers at Michigan have proved it.

How Does it Work?

Michigan researchers managed two experiments to check the improved artificial photosynthesis process. In the first experiment, the hydrogen and oxygen gases are released from the semiconductor catalyst and it has a layer of water on it. The semiconductor was prepared with indium gallium nitrate and it was grown on the silicon surface.

When this experiment was done outdoors, the researchers obtained artificial photosynthesis with 6.1% efficiency, when water was converted into hydrogen. This method is very efficient as it gives 10 times better results than the last solar water-splitting experiments. The efficiency can be increased to 9%, when this process was done indoors.

Next Step

In the next step of producing hydrogen, artificial photosynthesis improves the efficiency and increases the purity of hydrogen. This will help to enable hydrogen to be used in the fuel cells and it reduces additional energy consumption and costs is concerned with the traditional processes.

The researchers at Michigan University have a strong belief that artificial photosynthesis devices will become more effective than natural photosynthesis and it will lead people to carbon neutrality.
