Current Context: Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) has discovered a catalyst called Molybdenum Dioxide which has proven to be low Cost and efficient way to generate hydrogen from water.
- The Molybdenum Dioxide (MoO2) nanomaterials are annealed in hydrogen atmosphere and possess the ability to act as an efficient catalyst.
- With the help of Molybdenum Dioxide (MoO2), hydrogen can be generated from water and produces water on energy generation without any carbon footprint.
- The discovery of Molybdenum Dioxide (MoO2) has led to the replacement of currently employed catalyst Pt which is very expensive and is limited in the resource.
- About 80% efficient conversion of electrical energy into hydrogen has been achieved using this catalyst.
