HyperSolar Researcher Wei Cheng to Join University of Iowa Team

Hydrogen Expert to Join R&D Team Focused on Increasing the Water-Splitting Voltage of Proprietary Hydrogen Technology

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - February 18, 2015) - HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, today announced that Dr. Wei Cheng, a post-doctoral researcher who has extensive experience in developing hydrogen production applications and previously served the Company during his time as visiting scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will be joining HyperSolar's research and development team at the University of Iowa.

Dr. Cheng focuses on developing a low-cost way to make photo-electrochemical devices for producing hydrogen in wastewater. Dr. Cheng received his bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Technology from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, his master's degree and PhD in Materials Physics and Chemistry from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. He is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Iowa. His previous works include producing hydrogen using low voltage electro-oxidation of organic wastewater and preparing non-toxic metal sulfide semiconductors with low-cost materials such as tin monosulfide (SnS) and Cu2ZnSnS4.

As HyperSolar's technology progresses, the market for hydrogen fuel continues to build momentum. Just recently, the "big 3" auto manufacturers in Japan -- Nissan, Toyota, and Hyundai -- jointly announced their goal of "working together to help accelerate the development of hydrogen station infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)." Among several topics, hydrogen fuel infrastructure with respect to fueling stations was emphasized throughout the announcement as being of utmost importance. HyperSolar believes that its hydrogen producing technology, which uses a completely renewable process capable of being implemented at or near the point of distribution, will support fueling infrastructure upon commercialization.

"We are thrilled that Dr. Cheng will be joining our University of Iowa team to focus on increasing the water-splitting voltage required for commercialization of real-world systems," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "Dr. Cheng's background in producing hydrogen, along with his familiarity with HyperSolar technology, makes him an integral part of our research and development team. As hydrogen fuel solutions continue to garner attention from major corporations around the world, we are confident that our technology will serve many applications within both consumer and commercial industries."
