Research and Education

Traditional catalytic materials used in water splitting for hydrogen production, known for high effectiveness but prohibitively expensive for large-scale deployment.

The process of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen using energy, in this case, from solar cells.

A novel catalytic material composed of iron and dinickel phosphides deposited on commercially available nickel foam, designed to split water for hydrogen production.

Research project to develop an inexpensive catalyst composed of iron and dinickel phosphides on nickel foam for hydrogen fuel production from water splitting.

A novel catalytic material for water splitting hydrogen production, composed of iron and dinickel phosphides deposited on commercially available nickel foam. The catalyst performs both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, reducing energy requirements and production costs.
