Researchers from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and Fujitsu have developed a new way of searching through ‘chemical space’ for materials with desirable properties.
The technique has resulted in a promising new catalyst material that could help lower the cost of producing clean hydrogen.
The discovery represents an important step toward more sustainable ways of storing energy, including from renewable but intermittent sources, such as solar and wind power.
“Scaling up the production of what we call green hydrogen is a priority for researchers around the world because it offers a…
