Abstract:
    Development and integration of cobalt oxide and cerium oxide-based heterojunctions in tandem device for overall water splitting.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    1. To stop the CO2 emission 2. To strengthen economic growth
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Stoppage of CO2 emission will benefit all living organisms. People will enjoy clean and renewable energy. Inputs (sunlight and water) are free, and output (hydrogen) will serve in hydrogen technology.
How will the solution works
    We will be using Tandem cell by coupling solar cell with electrochemical cell. Solar cell will be made of semiconductor while electrochemical cell includes anode made of steel coated with cerium oxide and cobalt oxide in ratio 1:1,cathode made of graphite. By illuminating solar panel with solar energy/sunlight, negative charge carriers and holes will be formed in semiconductor, transferring these electrons to water in anode will result in splitting of water into positive hydrogen ions, electrons
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Our competitors are carbon fuels (diesel fuel, gasoline etc). Our solution is not only different but economical and environment friendly as there would be no CO2 production. And sources used by tandem cell to produce hydrogen (clean fuel) are renewable and present in abundance in nature(sunlight and
