This award is presented to Dr. Aditya Mohite of Rice University for achieving an integrated halide perovskite photoelectrochemical cell with record-setting solar-driven water-splitting efficiency of 20.8%.
Mohite’s system exhibited extended durability due to a novel graphite anticorrosion barrier that translates >99% of photoelectric power directly to hydrogen production.
His work increasing the durability and efficiency of photoelectrochemical systems has led the way toward the deployment of this renewable hydrogen production technology at scale.
