Hydrogen produced by electrochemical water splitting, where the electrical power comes from renewable supplies like sunlight and wind promises to be a key sustainable energy source replacing fossil fuels. However, this method of production presently cannot compete with less ‘green’ approaches using methane which generates CO2 . The key challenge for green hydrogen is to enhance the splitting of water using cheap, effective and long-lasting catalysts replacing current materials based on precious metals or the materials which need costly high temperatures to make and wear out quickly. In this seminar I will discuss our recently discovered, new class of effective water splitting catalysts..
