Editor’s note: This article is based on the findings of a patent-pending HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) catalyst Ni5P4 as reported in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Energy & Environmental Science. If successful, the catalyst could provide a way to inexpensively generate and store excess wind power, as hydrogen. The catalyst’s operating stability and efficiency will…

New catalyst based on carbon nanotubes may rival cost-prohibitive platinum for reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen Rutgers researchers have developed a technology that could overcome a major cost barrier to make clean-burning hydrogen gas – one that could replace expensive and environmentally harmful fossil fuels. A new technology based on carbon nanotubes…
