Addition of Cobalt to Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Offers Low-Cost Catalyst for Hydrogen Production

A novel solid-state catalyst that can be used to electrolyze water, with a similar efficiency to established (and expensive) platinum catalysts, has been developed. The catalyst is graphene-based with active cobalt atoms distributed across its surface. It is hoped this research will lead to cheaper water electrolysis; which is essential for the production of hydrogen to be used in fuel cells.
