Revolutionizing Hydrogen Fuel Production with Bio-inspired Nano Approach.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a new hybrid bio-nano system that combines finely-tuned photocatalytic semiconducting nanoparticles to make hydrogen with a bacterium which, while it does not photosynthesise or make hydrogen itself, it provides the necessary electrons to the nanomaterial to synthesise hydrogen. The system could offer a promising new route for producing sustainable solar-driven hydrogen fuel.
