HYSR -- SunHydrogen (previously Hypersolar)
I like to invest in disruptive technologies, that's how I first came across Brainchip in 2020 August. Another company that has intrigued me is SunHydrogen https://www.sunhydrogen.com/.
HYSR is a US pink slip called SunHydrogen (OTC stock code HYSR previously known as Hypersolar). They are developing solar cell technology to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and theoretically you can throw their cells into any body of water (does not have to be pure) and the conversion will start, therefore they can be used in disaster relief (generate hydrogen for HFC (hydrogen fuel cell) vehicles), remote truck stops (where it is difficult and expensive to supply with fuel), warehouse facilities (forklifts use HFCs so as to not pollute indoors), etc.
Traditionally what they are doing is not new, passing electricity through will split it (electrolysis) into hydrogen and oxygen has been done for a long time, however most hydrogen is "brown" hydrogen where the electricity is generated from fossil fuels. The trouble with using sunlight is that the voltage to start electrolysis is relatively high and solar cells typically have a low voltage. What HYSR has claimed to have found is the technology to lower the voltage required for electrolysis thus making it more viable. HYSR has a couple of patents for their Hydrogen cells (not fuel cells) which convert any water to hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of sunlight. They are also working with German and Korean partners to further refine and develop their cells.
They're at a stage not unfamiliar to us, on the path to commercialisation and I'd like to have discussions on that where I think we would benefit from the insight of others like uiux and BarrelSitter.

What I like;
- They have granted patents covering some technologies including nanoparticles that they use to lower electrolysis voltage.
US20160076154A1 & ZL 201580026002.0 -- Multi-junction artificial photosynthetic cell with enhanced photovoltages
9935234 -- Methods for manufacturing photoelectrosynthetically active heterostructures
9593053 -- Photoelectrosynthetically active heterostructures
- They are partnering with several more established entities to prepare their product for commercialisation
Universities -- University of Iowa & University of Michigan (both paid for by the company)
Companies -- MSC Co. LTD of Korea, Schmid Group of Germany for commercialisation
- It's a clean technology powered by the sun!
My concerns;
- It's taking a long time to get the product to market.
- Company keeps diluting O/S shares to raise capital. Currently 4.03B SOI.
