Researchers at KAUST have developed a novel molybdenum-coated catalyst that can efficiently split water in acidic electrolytes and that could help with the efficient production of hydrogen. The two gaseous products can easily recombine back to water due to reverse water-forming reactions, hindering the production of hydrogen.
