Sustainable Production of Fossil Fuel Alternatives: Breaking the Wall of Clean Hydrogen

Sarah Martell

2022 2022 Winner 2022 Winner | Emerging Talents Emerging Talents

According to Sarah Martell, hydrogen is a promising clean fuel source to replace fossil fuels. Although hydrogen fuel is considered clean and sustainable, common production methods are unsustainable and emit CO2. Her solution is to synthesize a material called porous silicon nanoparticles derived from abundant starting materials. By simply adding water to the material, hydrogen can be sustainably produced.
