Their new nickel-based catalyst (a substance that accelerates the speed of a chemical reaction) uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, allowing them to harness the hydrogen as a source of energy. The team&#8217;s findings were recently published in <i>Applied Energy<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Solar water splitting directly converts solar energy into hydrogen fuel,&#8221; Harishchandra Singh, Adjunct Professor, said. &#8220;Since a renewable non-carbon source like solar is used, the hydrogen produced would also be a renewable source of energy in the true sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the help of the Brockhouse beamline at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) located at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), the team was able to analyze the materials they used for their catalyst\u2014allowing them to understand why their design was so effective.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The beamline gives us access to very intense beams of high-energy X-rays which allow us to see details on the surface of these materials that are hard to see with other techniques,&#8221; said Graham King, a scientist on the Brockhouse beamline.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Renewable energy solutions that don\u2019t break the bank\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=LfURf9IY2ls\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Credit: Canadian Light Source\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-09-07T13:01:25-04:00\"\/><br \/>\n        <meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LfURf9IY2ls\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/LfURf9IY2ls\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>             <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Renewable energy solutions that don\u2019t break the bank\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LfURf9IY2ls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><figcaption class=\"text-darken text-low-up mt-4\" itemprop=\"caption\">Credit: Canadian Light Source<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Precious metals are often used in hydrogen fuel cells, making the production of hydrogen-based energy expensive.
