Remote Generation of Hydrogen Fuel

Beta-voltaic battery

This project involves photocatalytic films that produce hydrogen from water and sunlight, for use in fuel cells. This technology will remove the step of “reforming” conventional fuels, such as JP-8, to produce hydrogen, thereby reducing the logistical burden of military operations in forward areas. The only ingredients are water and the sun’s energy.
