Green hydrogen may power the society of the future, taking over the role of fossil fuels. This week in Nature, Prof. Emiliano Cortés, from the Faculty of Physics at LMU, discusses a novel and sustainable approach that uses light and earth-abundant materials for producing hydrogen.

This new technology, based on “plasmonic” catalysis may open the route for producing chemicals in a cleaner and zero-carbon emission manner.
