The University of Hawaii (UH) is proposing to use DOE funding to develop and study new semiconducting materials for photo-electro-chemical hydrogen production.
Project activities would involve analytical studies, standard laboratory research and laboratory level efficiency testing. UH would partner with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Stanford University; the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in order to accomplish project objectives. Work would take place in existing laboratory facilities at each location. For all work conducted at DOE laboratories, project activities may be subject to additional NEPA review by the cognizant NEPA Compliance Officer for the lab and will be required to meet the labs health and safety requirements.
