Doping electrons to a semiconductor with hydrazine creates electrocatalyst
24 June, 2016In the Matt Damon movie The Martian, Damon creates water from rocket fuel, hydrazine and hydrogen, nearly blowing himself up in the process. Now, researchers have discovered that turning this process on its head, by adding hydrazine to water, creates hydrogen. This changes conductivity in a semiconductor — a transformation with potential ramifications for electronics and the production of renewable fuels.
