Researchers at Rutgers University have developed a new noble metal-free catalyst—Ni 5 P 4 (nickel-5 phosphide-4)—performing on par with platinum for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both strong acid and base. Our new HER catalyst, Ni 5 P 4 , has the strong potential to overcome this challenge. —Charles Dismukes.

The cars, two of which were produced in association with major OEMs (Ford and Hyundai/Kia), exhibit substantial environmental and fuel-efficient benefits through low-cost hybridization. The problem is, while needing to reduce emissions, it is necessary to keep production at a relatively low cost. Earlier post.)
