NEDO Succeeded in the World's First Demonstration Test to Produce Solar Hydrogen on a Scale of 100 m2 by Artificial Photosynthesis in Japan (Source: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization NEDO)

NEDO: Artificial Photosynthesis Chemical Process Technology Research Association (ARPChem): We have developed a photocatalytic panel reaction system for social implementation of artificial photosynthesis systems. University of Tokyo, FUJIFILM Corporation, TOTO Ltd., Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd., Shinshu University, With Meiji University For the first time in the world, we succeeded in a demonstration test. Photocatalytic panel reaction system: 100㎡ solar light receiving photocatalyst panel reactor and Connect the hydrogen / oxygen gas gas separation module, We have developed a photocatalytic panel reaction system. Separation and recovery of high-purity solar hydrogen: Hydrogen produced by decomposing water and Oxygen mixture gas From the mixture gas, We have succeeded in separating and recovering high-purity solar hydrogen. Safety design for solar hydrogen production: In addition, the gas flow path has been properly designed. Confirmed that the mixed gas can be handled safely for a long period of time. Large-scale solar hydrogen production photocatalyst panel reaction system, Contributes to the realization of safety design for solar hydrogen production. Results of this research: It was published in the online breaking news version of the British scientific journal “Nature” on Wednesday, August 25, 2021.
