Hydrogen gas is a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels, but current industrial production methods used to produce hydrogen release carbon into the atmosphere and pollute the environment.
A new catalyst, carbon compound nickel-iron-molybdenum-phosphide anchored on nickel foam (NiFeMo-P-C), has significantly decreased the amount of electricity required to generate both hydrogen and oxygen from water, providing a clean and efficient means to produce hydrogen gas.
A team of leading chemical engineers have synthesized a cost-efficient and easily manufactured catalyst designed to lower the amount of energy required for the electrolysis of water, which splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.
