Renewable energy is a critical area of research given the ongoing climate crisis.
It is also at the forefront of a newgreen economyof energy which promises jobs as well as scientific progress.

Hydrogen fuel cells are an important energy carrier critical to low-carbon energy alternatives.
Hydrogenfuel cellsare ways to store energy produced by sources such as wind and solar.
Unlike regular batteries, they do not run down.

However, many areas of the world are scarce on liquid freshwater.
An electrolyzer composed of electrodes is powered by solar energy.
These electrodes enclose a water-harvesting sponge which also holds electrolytes.

The solar power breaks down the H2O into hydrogen and oxygen.
The pure gases are then collected in reservoirs.
This is a method of storing power, given the nature of the chemical reactions which split the molecules.
