An innovative process, which produces hydrogen using just water and solar power, has been emphasized today by the company behind the idea – HyperSolar.
This innovative process positions the company to increase the voltage needed to produce renewable hydrogen using only sunlight.
HyperSolar technology is based on the development of a process that mimics artificial photosynthesis, requiring only sunlight to separate water from hydrogen. This process generally requires voltages of more than 1.5 volts (V), yet current commercially available low-cost silicon solar cells can achieve only 0.7V.
In order to break this voltage barrier, HyperSolar is developing a technology that will replace the conventional and expensive vapor deposition process required to make the solar cell component.
