Abstract
production rate. In addition, a complete restoration of the SSPEC cell performance from low to high RH levels was also achieved. The presented system can be employed in off-grid, water depleted, and air-polluted areas for the production of hydrogen from renewable energy and provides a solution for the safe use of toxic, yet efficient photocatalysts.
