Laser Induced Graphene – Hydrogen Technologies – LIGHT

The efficient generation of hydrogen by CW infrared laser (980 nm) laser irradiation of graphene in selected fuels. Graphene as a nanocatalyst has many advantages compared to standard electrolysis. It was observed a giant emission effect of H2 from laser induced ionization of graphene due to splitting reactions in the fuel.
