How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method that—just like photosynthesis—uses sunlight and water, as with electrolysis, to obtain hydrogen, without generating harmful emissions. A group of researchers from the Department of Physics of the University of Trento has focused precisely on this approach.
