Breakthrough in Hydrogen Catalyst
Hydrogen is emerging as a clean fuel to power factories, vehicles, and cities without carbon emissions.
Producing hydrogen sustainably has been hindered by the high cost and scarcity of iridium, a rare metal.
Researchers at Rice University have developed a new catalyst that reduces iridium use by over 80% in water electrolyzers.
- Maintains top industrial performance for over 1,500 hours of continuous operation.
- Findings published in Nature Nanotechnology.
