A step closer to a hydrogen-fuelled economy using an efficient anode for water splitting

Researchers from Niigata University, Japan along with their collaborators from Yamagata University have developed a novel and highly efficient nickel sulphide nanowires/carbon nitride based anode for electrocatalytic water splitting applications. The nickel sulphide based anode material has aided in drastically reducing the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction. This study holds immense potential to enhance the generation of hydrogen fuel which is pursued as a promising alternative to the depleting carbon based fuels.
