Copper Doping Unlocks New Potential for Tungsten Oxide Nanocrystals

Sunlight is an unlimited source of energy, and using sunlight to produce electricity is one of the bases of renewable energy. A research group from Hokkaido University, headed by Assistant Professor Melbert Jeem and Professor Seiichi Watanabe at the Faculty of Engineering, has synthesized tungstic acid-based materials that have been doped with copper to display all-solar utilization.
