Hydrogen fuel at half the cost? Scientists reveal a game-changing catalyst
Researchers in South Korea have developed a powerful and affordable new material for producing hydrogen, a clean energy source key to fighting climate change. By fine-tuning boron-doping and phosphorus levels in cobalt phosphide nanosheets, the team dramatically boosted the efficiency of both sides of water-splitting reactions. This advancement could unlock scalable, low-cost hydrogen production, transforming how we generate clean fuel.
New catalyst with 75% less platinum promises to reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel cells
The high cost of platinum is one of the main barriers to the wider adoption of hydrogen fuel cells. Now, researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a catalyst that delivers the same performance while using 75% less of this expensive metal. The study, published in Electrochimica Acta, demonstrates a breakthrough made possible by applying controlled mechanical compression to the catalyst. This modifies its atomic-scale structure, enabling it to achieve energy efficiency comparable to that of pure platinum.
New Catalyst Uses 75% Less Platinum and Could Make Hydrogen Fuel Cells Cheaper
Scientists have developed a new catalyst that uses 75% less platinum while delivering almost the same performance as pure platinum, potentially removing one of the biggest cost barriers facing hydrogen fuel cells. Researchers at the IMDEA Materials Institute achieved the improvement using an unusual approach: gently compressing the catalyst. The tiny mechanical change alters the […] The post New Catalyst Uses 75% Less Platinum and Could Make Hyd…
The IMDEA Materials Institute has hit the clean energy table: a catalyst that uses 75% less platinum and maintains the same performance as the current ones in hydrogen batteries. The secret, according to the study published in Electrochimica Acta, is to apply a controlled mechanical compression that modifies the atomic structure of the material. The hydrogen fuel cell is one of the great promises for zero emissions mobility. But its catalytic he…
