US chemists find hidden energy barrier in water splitting for hydrogen fuel production
SMRTR summary
Northwestern University scientists have discovered a hidden energy barrier in water splitting for hydrogen fuel production. The study reveals that water molecules must flip to allow electron transfer, requiring more energy than theoretically predicted, but adjusting water's pH can make this process easier and potentially lower clean hydrogen fuel costs.
