A new development in the investigation of the materials used in solar panels reveals something big would be possible to create solar panels that produce electricity and hydrogen while. This is important because it would increase the effectiveness of the solar panel when generating clean energy. You may not know it, but hydrogen is seen by many as the future of energy, like helium 3.
This new technology seems to be based on the use of synthetic nano-crystals: one has a rod shape and produces hydrogen by photocatalysis, while the other is responsible for producing electricity from light, ie is photovoltaic.
This is still in the research stages, but its creators believe it is possible for mass production to sell in the market. If the project is successful, it could become an excellent alternative to current solar panels.
