Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently announced a new way to harvest small amounts of waste energy, thus harnessing it to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel. The new process provides many benefits including simplicity, efficiency, and the ability to recycle otherwise-wasted energy into a useable form.
Huifang Xu, geologist and crystal specialist from the University of Wisconsin-Madison led the team of researchers on this project. During their study, which was published March 2 in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, they grew nanocrystals of two common crystals, zinc oxide and barium titanate.
