UT El Paso-led team designs cactus-inspired low-cost, efficient water-splitting catalyst

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by engineers at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) have proposed a low-cost, cactus-inspired nickel-based material to help split water more cheaply and efficiently. Nickel, however, is not as quick and effective at breaking down water into hydrogen. And I started connecting it to our catalyst problem.
