A GROUP of Australian and Chinese researchers have made a ground-breaking discovery that could revolutionise the capture of solar energy.
Max Lu, professor at the University of Queensland (UQ)’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), said their world first in growing titanium oxide single crystals could open the door to cost-effective solar energy devices.
The so-called nano-crystals have large amounts of reactive surfaces and may also make it possible to achieve hydrogen production from splitting water.
