New Cheaper Water Splitting Catalyst For Lower Cost Hydrogen
August 16, 2023 | Leave a Comment
An Argonne National Laboratory team has developed a new catalyst composed of elements abundant in the Earth. It could make possible the low-cost and energy-efficient production of hydrogen for use in transportation and industrial applications. A multi-institutional team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed a low-cost catalyst for […]

A Major Step To a Good Low Cost Water Splitting Catalyst
August 8, 2018 | Leave a Comment
The American Chemical Society is reporting, with open access, in ACS Central Science a new catalyst that is really the best of both worlds. Taking water and ripping it apart into hydrogen and oxygen could form the basis of artificial photosynthetic devices that could ultimately power homes and businesses. However, catalysts, including those used to […]

Another New Water Splitting Catalyst
August 8, 2017 | 1 Comment
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has found a new catalyst that helps extract hydrogen from water efficiently and cheaply. The team of scientists at LLNL collaborated with scientists at Rice University and San Diego State University. The team turned to electricity to produce clean hydrogen fuel by splitting water molecules, which are made of oxygen […]

An international research team has developed a new water splitting catalyst with a molybdenum coating. Water-splitting systems require a very efficient catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, while preventing the gases from recombining back into water. The molybdenum coated catalyst prevents this problematic back reaction and works […]
