Efficient solar hydrogen generation in microgravity environment

Efficient solar hydrogen generation in microgravity environment

While renewable energy production is a terrestrial concern, far less attention is devoted to solar-to-fuel conversion for long-term space missions. Here, the authors explore photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation in microgravity and overcome microgravity’s limitations by electrode nanostructuring....
