UCLA Solar-Powered Hydrogen Production Device

Higher education and research

Uses electricity to split water and produce hydrogen fuel using nickel, iron, and cobalt catalysts.

A component of solar panels responsible for converting sunlight into electrical power.

Electrochemical capacitors capable of storing massive electrical charges and discharging energy much faster than batteries.

California

A device that combines a supercapacitor with a solar cell to produce and store hydrogen fuel. Uses nickel, iron, and cobalt catalysts instead of platinum. Scalable for applications ranging from small electronics to fuel cell vehicles to large-scale city energy storage.
