Turning water into hydrogen and oxygen is a common process in plants and bacterias and now scientists at Penn State Researches have also found a way to do the same.

According to the scientists, they have achieved a way to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water and the hydrogen separated will be reusable to meet energy purposes via means of fuel cells by using the hydrogen as a fuel.

A solar cell is among the plenty of fuel cell devices, which use solar energy as its fuel to produce electricity. If hydrogen can be separated from water than we can produce a totally new kind of fuel cell devices using hydrogen as its fuel cell and this hydrogen will be available in abundance because it has to be derived from water and water covers almost all of our planet, so if this fuel cell device is invented, there will be no hue and cry for the electricity and power cuts.

Scientists at Arizona State University have performed an experiment where they were able to mimic the process of separating hydrogen from water with the use of a combined dye and a lab developed catalyst system.

The researchers are conducting various experiments to increase the efficiency of the process, so as to produce more and more hydrogen from water. They are also experimenting on the type, properties of the dyes used as a catalyst to the process by adjusting its general geometry system.
