BNL Researchers develop low-cost, efficient, non-noble metal electrocatalyst to produce hydrogen from water

Green Car Congress

James Muckerman at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have developed a new class of high-activity, low-cost, non-noble metal electrocatalyst that generates hydrogen gas from water. The result becomes this well-balanced Goldilocks compound—just right. —James Muckerman.
