Research Background

Plasma-based water splitting has been extensively studied since the 1970s. Early work by researchers at MIT and Stanford demonstrated the feasibility of using electromagnetic fields to dissociate water molecules at temperatures above 3000°C.

Recent advances in microwave technology and plasma containment have enabled the development of compact, efficient systems capable of achieving the extreme temperatures required for instantaneous water dissociation.

Key Research Milestones:

  • • 1975: First demonstration of plasma water splitting
  • • 1992: Development of 2.45 GHz microwave plasma torches
  • • 2008: Achievement of 95%+ conversion efficiency
  • • 2018: Compact reactor designs for mobile applications
