SunHydrogen, Inc. announced that it has received the India Patent Office's decision to grant its patent "Multi-junction artificial photosynthetic cell with enhanced photovoltages." The patent, which is currently active in the US, Australia, China and Europe, is jointly held by the company and the Regents of the University of California, in accordance with the Company's prior research agreement with the University of California, Santa Barbara. This patent protects the company's semiconductor design, which features high-density arrays of nano-sized, high-voltage solar cells. This innovative structure serves as the core of the Company's nanoparticle technology.

Within one of the company's nanoparticle-based hydrogen generation units, billions of nanoparticles per square centimeter split apart water at the molecular level. These nanoparticles are comprised of multiple layers of solar cells. The high-voltage, high-light absorbing properties of the solar cells enable the company to make them ultrathin and with significantly fewer materials, lowering costs and raising efficiency.
