Webinar – Photocatalysis – producing hydrogen directly from sunlight

May 13, 2025

Tuesday 13 May, 1pm-2:30pm

Join us to discover the potential of Photocatalysis – producing hydrogen directly from sunlight, as part of our research project RP1.3-01.

Photocatalysts are light absorbing semiconducting nanoparticles able to generate their own internal electric field to power the water-splitting reaction to produce hydrogen. Photocatalytic hydrogen is therefore almost completely independent from electricity pricing and the potential for mass producible fabrication methods could significantly reduce overall costs. However, this competitiveness is contingent on fabricating photocatalysts which achieve a conversion of 10% Solar-to-Hydrogen  efficiency. Join the team from the University of Adelaide to learn more about their research to enhance Solar-to-Hydrogen efficiency and develop photocatalysis towards commercial viability.
