New Energy-Harvesting Process Uses Hematite and Silicon as Solar Absorbers

The poor performance of the mineral hematite began the quest for the identification of a suitable method for mining electron-rich hydrogen to achieve clean power. Researchers from the Boston College, UC Berkeley and China's University of Science and Technology have developed a smoother form of hematite by 're-growing' the mineral's surface. The new version was found to increase the electrical yield by twofold, paving way for the energy-harvesting artificial photosynthesis. The research was published in the Nature Communications journal.
