Photocatalyst Suspension Reactor for Solar Water Splitting

Brief Description

A novel reactor design that enables cost-effective green hydrogen production via solar water splitting, targeting $1/kg-H2 at scale.

Full Description

This innovative reactor uses a simplified single-compartment photocatalytic design with integrated galvano-catalytic hydrogen compression and reduced use of plastic materials, significantly lowering capital costs and enabling large-scale, clean hydrogen fuel production without CO2 emissions.

Suggested uses

• Green hydrogen production for renewable energy storage. 
• Hydrogen fuel supply for transportation sectors. 
• Chemical feedstock production including ammonia synthesis. 
• Large-scale sustainable energy infrastructure projects.

Advantages

• Cost reduction: Minimizes plastic components and integrates hydrogen compression to meet DOE green hydrogen cost targets. 
• Simplified design: Single-compartment system using proven components for reliable, easier operation. 
• Clean production: Generates hydrogen without CO2 by-products.
