Hydrogen has been proposed as a greener fuel for automobiles of the future, among other novel uses. However, the lack of an inexpensive method of generating hydrogen has held back development of mass ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University, Duke University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have found that molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) holds more promise than previously thought as a catalyst ...

Efficient and inexpensive catalysts will be required for production of hydrogen from sunlight. Molybdenum sulfides are considered good candidates. A team has now explained what processes take place in ...

Water-splitting systems require a very efficient catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, while preventing the gases from recombining back into water. Now ...

Scientists at South Korea’s Dongguk University have synthesized an efficient catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction — a component of the water-splitting process that produces hydrogen for fuel ...

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Globally, the transition to greener sources of energy requires the use of efficient catalysts for fuel generation reactions. Now, scientists at ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified the inner workings of a highly efficient and stable catalyst for hydrogen production, a process central to many sustainable energy initiatives. In a ...

Layered molybdenum disulfide has demonstrated great promise as a low-cost alternative to platinum-based catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production from water. Research effort on this material ...

A study by Northwestern University researchers has found that a catalyst made from earth-abundant molybdenum and common table sugar has the power to destroy carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. To come up with ...

The hydrogen economy that may one day replace the hydrocarbon economy came a step closer this week with the announcement that researchers have discovered an inexpensive new proton reduction catalyst - ...

Sunlight not only can be used to generate electricity, but also hydrogen. Hydrogen is a climate-neutral fuel that stores energy chemically and releases it again when needed, either directly via ...
