🌿 An artificial leaf that makes clean hydrogen while cleaning contaminated seawater.
Â
Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a self-powered device that uses sunlight to produce hydrogen from seawater while breaking down hydrazine, a highly toxic industrial pollutant.
Â
Led by Prof Lydia Wong from NTU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering, the artificial leaf tackles two challenges at once: producing clean fuel without relying on freshwater, and removing a harmful contaminant from wastewater.
Â
Published in Nature Communications, the research could pave the way for solar technologies that generate clean fuels while treating polluted water.
