CeNS Bengaluru

Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, have built a device that can produce green hydrogen using only solar energy. The innovation eliminates the need for fossil fuels or expensive materials, addressing key barriers to cost-effective hydrogen production. CeNS is an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology. The device uses a silicon-based photoanode with an n-i-p heterojunction structure. It combines n-type titanium dioxide, undoped silicon, and p-type…
