More good news about better catalysts: Ruthenium catalyst sets new efficiency record for water splitting (2/12/2019)
“An international team of scientists has synthesized a carbon nanowire doped with ruthenium and nitrogen that significantly outperforms conventional platinum-based catalysts for producing hydrogen from water. The team attributes the improved catalytic activity to individual ruthenium atoms embedded in the carbon matrix, rather than the presence of ruthenium nanoparticles.” (emphasis added)
Original Post
Trigger
Just read New water-splitting method could open path to hydrogen economy Technique efficiently generates hydrogen from water. Researchers of the Washington State University discovered catalysts made from nanomaterials consisting of inexpensive nickel and iron.
If this turns out to be right, this could be a huge game changer how humans will produce energy going forward.
Implications
Another triumph of human ingenuity!
The global economic benefits cannot even be imagined!
No more energy shortages for humanity in the foreseeable future.
Good riddance to all the windmills and solar panels spoiling our environment.
