A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has presented noble catalysts for water electrolysis, capable of generating hydrogen and oxygen at the same time. According to the research team, among the catalysts reported so far, these are most stable, easy to make, affordable and have excellent performance. In this study, Professor Hyeong-seong Park, jointly with Professor Gun Tae Kim, and Professor Sang-kyu Kwak in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST introduced a heterostructure comprising perovskite oxides (La0.5Sr0.5CoO3–δ , LSC) and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) as an electrochemical catalyst for overall water electrolysis. The new catalysts are simple to synthesize and can be mass-produced, according to the research team. |
