Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has created a method for hydrogen production that does not require platinum, addressing the scarcity and environmental issues associated with the metal. The process involves electrically conductive plastic particles that interact with sunlight and water, producing hydrogen gas efficiently.

Researchers demonstrated that one gram of polymer can generate 30 liters of hydrogen in an hour. The team aims to achieve full water splitting using only sunlight and water, eliminating the need for sacrificial chemicals. This advancement marks a significant step towards sustainable hydrogen production.
