Porphyrin nanotubes for hydrogen production
18 March 2005 by Hydrogen PowerSandia National Laboratories has produced porphyrin nanotubes which could eventually be used for splitting water to produce hydrogen.
This investigation is exciting because it promises to provide fundamental scientific breakthroughs in chemical synthesis, self-assembly, electron and energy transfer processes, and photocatalysis. Controlling these processes is necessary to build nanodevices for efficient water splitting, potentially enabling a solar hydrogen-based economy.
