What to know

  • Scientists developed a new nanomaterial using abundant iron and nickel oxides to replace costly, rare precious metals in hydrogen electrocatalysis.
  • The material uses iron and nickel oxides anchored on carbon nanofibers grown via chemical vapor deposition.
  • If effective, the breakthrough could significantly reduce the cost of green hydrogen production by eliminating dependence on scarce platinum, ruthenium, and iridium.

“Generating hydrogen without releasing carbon dioxide sounds simple: pass electricity through water, split water molecules and generate green hydrogen.”

    Researchers publish iron-nickel oxide electrocatalyst breakthrough

    Scientists report developing a nanomaterial using small amounts of iron and nickel oxides anchored on carbon nanofibers as an alternative to expensive precious metal electrocatalysts (platinum, ruthenium, iridium) in hydrogen production via water electrolysis.

    “The best ones rely on platinum, ruthenium and iridium, which are scarce and expensive. We wanted to know whether a small amount of iron and nickel oxides, anchored on carbon nanofibers grown by chemical vapor deposition the right way on the right scaffold, could do the job instead.”
