“Solar Battery” Delivers hydrogen from solar energy at the push of a button - Copolymer enables time-flexible energy use
Storing energy from sunlight and converting it into hydrogen days later — even in the dark — is now possible with a new material jointly developed by researchers from Ulm and Jena. The process is reversible and can be reactivated multiple times via a pH switch. The results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
