Penn State, FSU team develops low-cost, efficient layered heterostructure catalyst for water-splitting

Green Car Congress

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. The team concluded that such layered heterostructures thus have enormous potential in catalysis.
