SunHydrogen, Inc. is a clean-energy technology company focused on the development of a proprietary nanoscale photocatalytic platform for the production of renewable hydrogen. By harnessing sunlight to split water molecules, the company aims to offer a low-cost, carbon-neutral source of hydrogen fuel that can be used across transportation, power generation, industrial, and residential applications. SunHydrogen’s approach centers on a lightweight, water-based photocatalyst coating that, in laboratory testing, has demonstrated the ability to generate hydrogen gas when exposed to sunlight.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Goleta, California, SunHydrogen holds a portfolio of patents covering its photocatalyst formulations and reactor designs. The company has pursued collaboration agreements with academic institutions and research laboratories to advance scale-up of its technology from bench-scale cells toward pilot-scale demonstrations. In March 2021, the company rebranded from HyperSolar, Inc. to SunHydrogen, Inc. to reflect its mission of bringing solar-driven hydrogen production to market.
SunHydrogen’s current activities include optimizing catalyst stability, improving hydrogen evolution rates, and developing modular reactor systems suitable for a variety of geographic locations. While still in the R&D stage, the company envisions licensing its core technology to energy providers, equipment manufacturers, and end-users seeking sustainable hydrogen solutions. By combining advances in nanomaterials with solar energy conversion, SunHydrogen seeks to help address the global demand for clean, on-demand hydrogen.
