A team of researchers from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology has developed a bio photo electro chemical (BPEC) cell that produces hydrogen and electricity from water using sunlight. They used a simple membrane extract from spinach leaves to achieve this feat. The device produces oxygen, hydrogen and electric current using only water as a raw material. The device, using a unique combination of plant membranes and a man made BPEC cell, paves the way…
