  • MIT Researchers Develop Solar-to-Fuel Roadmap for Crystalline Silicon

    Such a system would use sunlight to produce a storable fuel, such as hydrogen, instead of electricity for immediate use. This fuel could then be used on demand to generate electricity through a fuel cell or other device. This process would liberate solar energy for use when the sun isn’t shining, and open up a…
