Model of oxygen evolution refuted
Mater. Horiz.: RESOLV Prof. Kai S. Exner from the Department of Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry at the UDE has now been able to show that previous modeling was based on mechanisms that were too simple and therefore did not provide reliable results. Producing hydrogen from water and solar energy alone - researchers around the world are working on this sustainable path. Theoreticians support this development by identifying promising materials and methods.
