Real-time oxygen measurements expose hidden losses in solar water splitting

Researchers report that measuring oxygen production in real time during solar water splitting reveals energy losses that standard methods miss. By tracking oxygen output as the reaction happens, scientists can identify where efficiency is being lost in photoelectrochemical systems, a key technology for producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight. The finding could guide better materials and designs for solar fuels.

Why now: The technique exposes previously hidden efficiency losses, which matters for advancing solar hydrogen research.
