Iron and nickel oxide nanoparticles on carbon nanofibers replace platinum in electrolysis

Researchers report that small amounts of iron and nickel oxides anchored on carbon nanofibers grown by chemical vapor deposition can replace scarce platinum, ruthenium and iridium electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production. The results are published in ACS Applied Nano Materials.

• Catalyst uses iron and nickel oxides instead of platinum, ruthenium and iridium
• Support is carbon nanofibers grown via chemical vapor deposition
• Findings published in ACS Applied Nano Materials
