Thus, lowering the cost of HER catalysts is of paramount importance for clean, scalable and sustainable energy. To lower the catalysts cost, a natural abundant alternative and low-cost scalable synthesis are required. To get around that problem, the team added reduced graphene oxide, a highly conducting form of carbon.
