Very Low Cost Hydrogen Extraction Catalyst Found
March 6, 2018 | Leave a Comment
KTH The Royal Institute of Technology researchers have successfully tested a new material that can be used for cheap and large-scale production of hydrogen. Currently precious metals are the standard catalyst materials used for extracting hydrogen from water. The problem is these materials such as platinum, ruthenium and iridium – are too expensive. A team […]

A New Cheaper Water Splitting Catalyst
September 24, 2015 | 1 Comment
A University of Wisconsin at Madison research team reports a hydrogen making catalyst containing phosphorus and sulfur – both common elements – and cobalt, a metal that is 1,000 times cheaper than platinum. Like gasoline, natural gas and other petrochemicals, hydrogen could also be used to store energy. Hydrogen could be the ideal fuel: Whether […]

A New Far Cheaper Hydrogen Production Catalyst
July 3, 2013 | 2 Comments
A catalyst discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison could be a significant advance in the quest to create a “hydrogen economy” that would use hydrogen to store and transfer energy. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without themselves being consumed. Mark Lukowski, a Ph.D. student working with associate professor Song Jin in the UW-Madison chemistry department […]
