Scientists in senior author Yi Cui's lab at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering have designed an electrocatalytic mechanism that works like a mammalian lung to convert water into fuel. The team's mechanism structurally mimics the alveoli in the lungs and carries out two different processes to improve the reactions that drive sustainable technologies such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
