Hydrogen storage in the carbon dioxide/formic acid system, using homogeneous iron(II)-phosphine catalysts in aqueous solution

Mickael Montandon-Clerc

The valorization of carbon dioxide and its transformation into useful chemicals is essential as mankind consumes more and more fossil fuels, thus producing equivalent wastes. The storage of hydrogen, a promising energy carrier, is also of great interest in ...

On the stability enhancement of cuprous oxide water splitting photocathodes by low temperature steam annealing

Michael Graetzel, Morgan Mertens Stefik, Stanley David Tilley, Ludmilla Steier

Given the intermittent nature of solar radiation, the large-scale use of solar energy requires an efficient energy storage solution. So far, the only practical way to store such large amounts of energy is in the form of a chemical energy carrier, i.e., a f ...
