New paper in efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts
N&N group members Xuesong Zhang, Pablo Guardia and Anna Roig published a new paper in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. It introduces a new method to create efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts using gold-platinum (AuPt) nanostructures. This research has been conducted alongside the former N&N member Miquel Torras, as well as the authors from the Catalan Institute for Energy Research (IREC) Jesús Chacón Borrero, Ren He and Andreu Cabot (the latter, also from ICREA).
Hydrogen is crucial for clean energy but needs cost-effective, efficient production methods. This study shows a path forward in this objective by offering a solution to a problem within the field: Platinum, commonly used for hydrogen production, is rare and costly. However, this method maximizes its use by forming a core-shell structure, where a gold core is covered by a platinum shell.
