Experiment on hydrogen from water through catalyst and ultra-violet light

Thus, various new energy sources have been developed to replace our dependency on crude oil and one of the sources of energy is hydrogen. The aim of this project is to study the effect of the...

| Summary: | The main source of energy for the modern world is crude oil. However, the supply of
crude oil is limited. Thus, various new energy sources have been developed to replace our
dependency on crude oil and one of the sources of energy is hydrogen.
The aim of this project is to study the effect of the photocatalyst on water to observe if
hydrogen gas can be produced under ultra violet radiation without the used of electricity
to spilt the water molecule. Also study the effect of adding Co catalyst and additive
which have different mechanisms of approached to dissociate water to hydrogen hoping
to increase the yield. Materials such as zinc nickel and copper are selected base on the
various mechanisms proposed and study. But the main objective of this project is to
successful conduct test to spilt water into hydrogen under ultra violet radiation. |
