What Are the Innovations in Catalytic Hydrogen Production?
Recent advancements aim to address these challenges:
Non-Precious Metal Catalysts - Researchers are developing catalysts based on cheaper, more abundant metals like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Photocatalysis - Using sunlight to drive water splitting reactions with semiconductor catalysts such as titanium dioxide. Electrocatalysis - Enhancing the efficiency of electrolysis with advanced materials like perovskites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Biocatalysts - Utilizing enzymes and microorganisms to produce hydrogen from organic matter through biological processes.
