Waterproofing perovskite solar cells for solar-powered hydrogen production

Education and Research

Hydrogen production using solar power

A new type of solar cell that uses lead and other common elements to generate electricity. These cells are cheaper than conventional silicon cells, require lower manufacturing temperatures, and have reached 19% efficiency.

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.

A waterproof coating applied to perovskite solar cells using commercially available and inexpensive graphite. This coating protects the cells from water damage during electrolysis.
