Description We discovered a new way to make photodiode devices for photodriven water splitting.
Exploitation Route The results have been diseminated to project partners. This includes TATA steel, TWI and TEAR coatings. UCL have built two prototype devices. the devices do not show enough overall efficiency to warrant commercialisation at this time.
Sectors Energy
