New Breakthrough In Extracting Hydrogen From Water

British scientists claim to have figured out the most efficient way for extracting hydrogen from water using solar energy. The scientists reported 60% efficiency in this experiment in which hydrogen was produced from water by having light photons strike a gold electrode which was coated with nanoclusters of indium phosphide.

This could be a significant breakthrough as no other process has reached such a high efficiency, potentially paving the way to new technologies for hydrogen fuel cells.
