Hydrogen harnessed from industrial wastewater using sunlight

Scientists have harnessed sunlight to isolate hydrogen from industrial wastewater, paving the way for a green, inexpensive method to create clean fuel. Hydrogen is a critical component in the manufacture of thousands of common products from plastic to fertilizers, but producing pure hydrogen is expensive and energy intensive. In a study published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, researchers from Princeton University in the US reported that their process doubled the currently accepted rate for scalable technologies that produce hydrogen by splitting water. The technique uses a specially designed chamber with a "Swiss-cheese" black silicon interface to split water and isolate hydrogen gas. The process is aided by bacteria that generate electrical current when consuming organic matter in the wastewater; the current, in turn, aids the water splitting process. The team, led by Zhiyong Jason Ren from Princeton University, chose wastewater from breweries for the test. They .
