Researchers at Australia’s Curtin University claim to have discovered a cheaper and more efficient method of producing Hydrogen energy. The research team originally set out to explore an alternative to precious metal catalysts which are used to speed up the electrolysis reaction. They found that using an ion diffusion-induced doping strategy to nickel and cobalt to previously ineffective catalysts enhanced their performance.
This creation of a high-performing catalyst using low-cost materials not only lowered the amount of energy required to split the water but also increased the yield of renewable hydrogen produced. Further, the research team believes that advances in the production of hydrogen from electricity would help accelerate Australia’s transition to renewable energy.

Technology is a useful servant, but a dangerous master, it was rightly said. Electronic devices have grown into an inevitable part of our daily lives.
