Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. These layers are not molecularly bolted together like a metal but instead are loose enough to slide over one another, and with huge internal surface areas. MOS 2 exists as a stack of flat nanostructures.
