New catalyst can produce hydrogen cheaper and more sustainably, directly at the consumer

Researchers at Rice University in Texas have designed a catalyst that can produce hydrogen directly at the consumer’s disposal. This nanomaterial uses energy from light to convert ammonia into hydrogen gas. Since this generation method does not require heat or expensive precious materials, it is a relatively cheap and sustainable catalyst. LEDs are used as a light source, although solar energy is also an option. Materials such as platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium are…
