Artificial photosynthesis
Artificial leaves are devices that use sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in one integrated unit. Laboratory modules have reached about 11% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency under one-sun illumination, but durability and outdoor performance at useful scale have not yet been shown.
Seawater electrolysis
Seawater electrolysis uses electricity to split seawater directly into hydrogen and oxygen, without first removing the salt. Laboratory and small-device studies report long test runs, but no complete system has yet been shown to be cheaper, cleaner or more reliable than purifying water first.
