Global warming warrants urgent investment in clean and sustainable energy generation. This project aims to investigate the use of nitride semiconductors, a commonly used material for LEDs, and solar energy to generate hydrogen by splitting water molecules. These semiconductors have excellent light absorption efficiency and can be designed to better match the solar spectrum. The project will explore the underlying mechanism of light interaction with the semiconductor through band bending and surface engineering, and determine how this interaction affects the dissociation of water molecules. The concepts demonstrated in the project are expected to pave the way for further development of this technology for future applications.

全球变暖需要对清洁和可持续能源发电进行紧急投资。该项目旨在研究利用氮化半导体（led的常用材料）和太阳能，通过分解水分子产生氢气。这些半导体具有优异的光吸收效率，可以设计成更好地匹配太阳光谱。该项目将通过带弯曲和表面工程探索光与半导体相互作用的潜在机制，并确定这种相互作用如何影响水分子的解离。项目中展示的概念有望为该技术未来应用的进一步发展铺平道路。
