Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan have developed a new catalyst, which could increase the production rate of green hydrogen up to 30-times, compared to existing methods. While this statement will indicate the upper limits of what is possible with the new technology, the rate at which such developments are being announced is yet another indicator that green hydrogen is set to follow a dramatic cost-reduction curve over the coming decade. In a recent article published in Nature Communications, chemistry researchers at Kyoto University have demonstrated their findings regarding a new alloy catalyst of ruthenium and iridium. The 60-nanometer wide catalyst, which has been noted as having a coral-like appearance under the microscope, will be instrumental in developing a cheaper…
