Researchers Develop a Potential Low Cost Alternative to Platinum for Splitting Water
Published on 2012-02-09 22:51:03
A new technique holds promise for the creation of catalytic materials that can serve as effective low-cost alternatives to platinum for generating hydrogen gas from water that is acidic. The technique for creating a new molecule that structurally and chemically replicates the active part of the widely used industrial catalyst molybdenite has been developed by researchers with the U.S. read more
