Chemists uncover the true active surface of nickel catalysts
Researchers have found that the active surface of nickel catalysts used in hydrogen production is not made up of nickel oxyhydroxide, challenging a long-held assumption. This discovery could help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of alkaline water electrolysis technology. The team's findings provide new insights into the properties of these catalysts.
Why it's good news: It brings us closer to developing more efficient technologies for producing hydrogen in a climate-neutral way.
