Content overview: “Iron-Nickel Nanomaterial Could Replace Platinum in Green Hydrogen Production”. Researchers have developed a new electrocatalyst made from iron and nickel oxides anchored on carbon nanofibers, potentially replacing scarce and costly platinum, ruthenium, and iridium in green hydrogen production. The team used chemical vapor deposition to grow the nanofibers on a suitable scaffol The team used chemical vapor deposition to grow the nanofibers on a suitable scaffold, then tested the material's efficiency in splitting water molecules.
Published in ACS Applied Nano Materials, the study shows that the iron-nickel combination could significantly reduce the cost of electrolysis, making green hydrogen more economically viable. This matters because green hydrogen is a clean fuel that could decarbonize industries like steelmaking, shipping, and long-haul transport, but its adoption has been limited by the high price of precious metal catalysts.
