Hematite-based nanowire structures to enhance solar-to-fuel conversion in photoelectrochemical water splitting
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

ICN2 researchers led by ICREA Prof. Jordi Arbiol, in collaboration with the IREC and ICIQ, have produced a material for use in photoelectrochemical water splitting that is not only cheaper than existing alternatives, but increases both the efficiency and output of the process. Based on the integration of several materials into a multilayer nanowire structure, the research was featured on the cover of this month`s Energy & Environmental Science.
