University of Texas researchers awarded nearly £1.5M for hydrogen research
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have received nearly £1.5 million for hydrogen research. Specifically, the researchers will endeavor to identify new materials that will efficiently absorb sunlight and split water into hydrogen and oxygen. In order to accomplish this, the materials will need to be inexpensive and composed of abundant elements, according to one of the professors named in the grants.
The researchers, chemical engineering professor Charles Mullins, chemistry professor Allen Bard, and mathematics professor Irene M. Gamba received a $1.4 million (£849,200) grant from the National Science Foundation and nearly $1.1 million (£667,000) from the Department of Energy.
