In-depth analysis of hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, SAF and biofuel markets — intelligence to support data-driven decisions across the energy transition.
Researchers at Oregon State University have unveiled a material that uses light to pull hydrogen out of water without leaning on platinum or other costly metal catalysts. The material, called BVR-19, is a metal-organic framework, a crystalline and highly porous structure built from metal ions linked by organic molecules. Its trick is a sulfide-to-sulfide bond inside the organic building blocks. When light hits the framework, that bond briefly breaks, producing highly reactive
