Fine-tuning Ru catalyst's microenvironment boosts hydrogen oxidation in alkaline conditions
A team of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled a novel strategy to enhance the performance of ruthenium (Ru) catalysts—offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to platinum (Pt), which is commonly used in hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) catalysts, but is expensive and scarce. The study was recently published in Nano Letters.
