IIT-Guwahati Develops Low-Cost Catalyst for Hydrogen Production from Water
Researchers at IIT-Guwahati have developed a low-cost catalyst combining nickel salt and an anthracene-based organic molecule to produce hydrogen from water efficiently. This innovation supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission by offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-based hydrogen, which currently accounts for 90-95% of production and emits greenhouse gases. The new catalyst provides a high density of active sites and efficient electron transport, potentially enabling large-scale clean hydrogen production through water electrolysis.
