Researchers have created a semiconductor material that could pave the way to limitless hydrogen fuel. Using solar power to split water and produce hydrogen fuel is one of the most promising clean energy technologies being pursued, but so far it’s been held back by the lack of a stable semiconductor material. Now researchers have come up with a semiconductor that is stable, low-cost, and should be scalable for mass use worldwide. For proponents of hydrogen fuel, this discovery is huge.
