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

Green Car Congress

Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. Because of this, a commercial catalyst would require a huge amount of MOS 2. For this, MoS 2 , an earth-abundant lamellar solid, has shown prominent HER catalysis nearing the efficiency of platinum.
