Single-catalyst water splitter development

Education and Research

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

A device that uses electrical energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The Stanford catalyst is a single-catalyst, low-voltage water splitter.

A new catalyst material composed of nickel and iron oxides that is inexpensive and efficient for water splitting. It can generate hydrogen and oxygen for more than 200 hours.

California

A low-voltage water splitter using nickel-iron oxide catalyst that can generate hydrogen and oxygen for more than 200 hours. The catalyst is inexpensive and significantly more efficient than conventional platinum-based catalysts used in fuel cells.
