India develops new water splitting catalyst
Indian researchers recently published an article in the German "Applied Chemistry" magazine that they have developed a low-cost catalyst that can accelerate the process of water decomposition to produce hydrogen, which is conducive to the development of hydrogen energy-related fields. Hydrogen is widely used as a clean energy source in fuel cells, zero-emission vehicles, and other fields, while electrolyzed water is a widely used method of hydrogen production. However, the catalyst commonly used in the electrolytic water process is made of precious metals such as ruthenium and platinum, and the raw materials are rare and costly. A team at the Indian Institute of Science combined cobalt oxide and sodium metaphosphate to develop a new type of catalyst. The research team said that compared with the currently widely used catalyst ruthenium dioxide, the current density of the new catalyst in the water decomposition reaction is higher, which means that the reaction speed is faster and the catalytic efficiency is higher. In addition, the material cost of the new catalyst is very low, less than 0.5% of the ruthenium dioxide catalyst. The researchers plan to further test the actual effect of this catalyst in metal-air batteries and some water splitting devices, and strive to put it into application as soon as possible.
