Better than Synthetic Photosynthesis?

Started by Green Collar Tech · 11 months ago

Daniel Nocera, a chemistry professor at MIT, and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Mr. Nocera’s lab, have developed a catalyst made from cobalt and phosphate that can split water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. When used in conjunction with a photovoltaic solar panel, their system can use water to store the sun’s energy.

This new [...] ... Continue reading »

    This discovery is certainly an important one. It is sad that there is no mention of it in the media. I wonder why. As mentioned in the write up this dicovery or invention could be the reuseable energy source mankind has been looking for. Several years ago I realized photosynthesis is the answer and thought if we could synthesis the firt stage of it we have endless source of energy. The product that result for you process, hydrogen, is a very good source and easy to store. Please let me know why there is not any mention of this in the media.
    Thanks

    Aloha John, we completely agree. It seems there's no money is energy problems that are solved. Perhaps there's more money is energy problems rather than solutions? This is an amazing discovery as are many others...

    I'm no scientist, but I'm sure I remember watching a program in the UK in about 1995 of a man who had created a car to run off hydrogen from water and I think he was doing the same thing. Just Googled it and it seems you can download it:

    aloha John, you're right. although folks are having varying levels of
    success with hydrogen power in general the folks at MIT seem to be onto
    something new with these solar collection/storage devices. A search at
    youtube for water for fuel also turns up some interesting videos. thanks for
    the addition...

    Now thats a first step to an affordable water solar battery.
