Jose Montero at the division of Solid State Physics reveals that "breathing" of oxygen is the mechanism behind darkening and bleaching in photochromic in yttrium-oxyhydride (YHO). His work shows that oxygen in YHO diffuses put from the lattice during the light induced darkening and that the bleaching of YHO back to the transparent state swiftly occurs in air whereas in inert nitrogen atmosphere YHO stays in the darkened state.

A scalable thermally integrated CuInGaSe (CIGS) photovoltaic-alkaline electrolyser
Within the PECSYS Project, we, Uppsala University and Solibro Research AB, developed a thermally integrated photovoltaic (PV)-electrolysis device made up of a CuInGaSe (CIGS) photovoltaic module and a FeNiOH (cathode)-FeNiOH (anode)-based alkaline electrolyser.
