In a significant advancement for renewable energy technologies, a new catalyst has been developed that dramatically improves the efficiency and stability of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in ...

A research team has successfully designed and developed a proprietary non-precious metal oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst featuring a layered structure optimized for anion exchange membrane ...

The electrolytic film produced at Rice and tested at Houston is a three-layer structure of nickel, graphene and a compound of iron, manganese and phosphorus. The foamy nickel gives the film a large ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Water electrolysis has been regarded as an environmentally friendly route to hydrogen gas production. However, efficiency of water catalysis is severely limited by poor kinetics ...

In the future, hydrogen produced from sunlight and water using photocatalysts could provide a source of clean energy. Researchers have developed a method to detect the oxygen produced from this ...

The NiFeLa catalyst with 3d-5d orbital coupling exhibits remarkable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and stability, enabling an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers device to achieve a ...

Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, but splitting water to make it has ...

The field of electrocatalysis is dependent upon the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in many ways, which explains the enormous amount of research that has been conducted on it. In an aqueous acidic ...

A single, robust catalyst that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen has been developed with Earth-abundant materials that approach the efficiency of more expensive platinum, according to scientists.
