Can you imagine how the world would change if we could generate energy using only water? It’s something humanity is still trying to achieve, and we are now closer than ever. America has just discovered a source so promising, we had to give it a new name. Experts are already talking about \u201cyellow hydrogen<\/strong>,\u201d and it has nothing to do with green or blue. What’s more, it could be a game-changing invention that the whole world will copy (as happened with red, which continues to advance unstoppably in Japan).<\/p>\n

America has discovered a new type of hydrogen: This color doesn’t exist in the world<\/h2>\n

Yellow hydrogen, commonly referred to as photochemical hydrogen, is hydrogen generated through a photocatalytic water splitting reaction. Limiting the number of reactions is one of the main ideas of this method; the reactions include using solar energy and manipulated catalysts to break water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This type of hydrogen has been termed as yellow hydrogen, and unlike other conventional forms of hydrogen production, it does not use fossil-based energy and has no direct negative impacts on the climate by emitting greenhouse gases. It’s closely similar to the orange one, but it does not depend on wastewater (what is the main difference)<\/p>\n

How can yellow hydrogen be produced? America has developed a roadmap<\/h3>\n

The process of producing yellow hydrogen involves the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Semiconductor photocatalysts<\/strong> and sunlight are used to split water, into hydrogen and oxygen, with a process similar to electrolysis used to produce green or blue hydrogen.<\/li>\n
  2. Hydrogen is then accumulated<\/strong> and purified for purposes of being used as fuel or in numerous other uses. This is because oxygen is a byproduct of the said reactions and is thus released into the atmosphere.<\/li>\n
  3. A photocatalyst utilized in this procedure<\/strong> concerns semiconducting materials like Titanium dioxide or Cadmium sulfide. These materials capture sunlight and harness it, allowing the water-splitting process to take place at the surface of the catalyst.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why is it a good idea to produce yellow hydrogen in America? More efficient, powerful and available<\/h2>\n

    Yellow hydrogen has several advantages over other forms of hydrogen production<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
