Saving our plant by green energy technology: High efficiency water splitting cells
To decompose waste water, water purification, and power generation without pollution like past.
To develop the electronic device generating hydrogen has been one of the solution to protect environment when we face the resources shortage. An ordinary family would produce 1 ton of waste water one day, however, the solid waste and the salt account for 10% respectively, and the rest is water. Thus, it is important to purify waste water into clean water. The high effective device to generate hydrogen is our desire to work out with, which has the ability to generate oxygen and hydrogen by splitting waste water. The generated hydrogen and oxygen are the sources of fuel battery. The clean water and power could be produced later on from the chemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen. This research can not only solve the problem of environmental issues from massive waste water but also provide us with clean water and power.
