Project Description
A new photocatalysts which can harvest the energy from the sun, will be designed and attached to semiconductor surfaces to develop photoelectrochemical devices to produce hydrogen using only energy from renewable sources including wind and sunlight. The hydrogen produced can be used in a fuel cell to produce electricity and aid in reducing Irelands energy related emissions.Project Details
