New efficient, low-temperature catalyst for converting water and CO to hydrogen and CO2

Green Car Congress

Scientists in the US and China have developed a new low-temperature catalyst for producing high-purity hydrogen gas while simultaneously using up carbon monoxide (CO) via the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. The work at Brookhaven Lab was funded by the US DOE Office of Science. Kiely, Lin Gu, Chuan Shi, José A.
