QUT Chemistry Researchers have Discovered Cheaper and more Efficient Materials for Producing Hydroge | FuelCellsWorks

QUT Chemistry Researchers have Discovered Cheaper and more Efficient Materials for Producing Hydroge | FuelCellsWorks: “What we have found is that we can use two earth-abundant cheaper alternatives - cobalt and nickel oxide with only a fraction of gold nanoparticles – to create a stable bi-functional catalyst to split water and produce hydrogen without emissions.

“From an industry point of view, it makes a lot of sense to use one catalyst material instead of two different catalysts to produce hydrogen from water.”

Professor O’Mullane said the stored hydrogen could then be used in fuel cells.
