Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy have created the world’s fastest hydrogen-producing catalyst, using natural bacterial catalysts as a blueprint. The method uses the energy stored in chemical bonds to produce hydrogen with the help of a synthetic catalyst. The system could offer a way of creating efficient, cheap hydrogen production for fuel cell power or for internal combustion engines.
