Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

The improved catalyst has already released four times the amount of hydrogen ever produced by MoS 2 from water. Because of this, a commercial catalyst would require a huge amount of MOS 2. —co-author Jeff Brinker, Sandia Fellow and University of New Mexico professor. Water splitting is a challenging reaction.
