  • Modified catalysts and process for the solar reduction of water
    Patent number: 4606798
    Abstract: A solar reaction system which produces hydrogen by reduction of hydronium ions using methylviologen or a related compound as an electron-transfer agent and a platinum electron-transfer catalyst, wherein the catalyst is modified with a water-soluble divalent sulphur compound, or a sulphur compound in which the sulphur is reducible to the divalent state, in an amount sufficient to inhibit hydrogenation side-reactions during the solar reduction process but not sufficient to significantly suppress the reduction of hydronium ion to hydrogen by the electron-transfer agent.

  • Chemical storage of radiant energy
    Patent number: 4123219
    Abstract: A method for the chemical storage of radiant energy in which substituted naphthalenes undergo photochemical dimerization by exposure to radiant energy to form 1,2,2a,7,8,12b-hexahydro-1,8,2,7-ethanedihylidenedibenzo[a,e]cyclobuta[c]c yclooctenes, which on heating, revert to the original naphthalenes with the release of heat.
