Nanocomposite-based electrocatalyst for alkaline overall water splitting at low cell voltage for hydrogen production

The diminishing conventional energy resources based on fossil fuels and their related environmental consequences have drawn attention around the world toward the development of renewable energy resources. These renewable energy resources may not fulfill the entire energy demands of world's mass population; however, they limit the effects of greenhouse gases as well as air pollution caused by the fossil fuel burning. Among alternative resources, hydrogen is considered to be the cleanest energy carrier.
