- Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed an advanced MXene-based material capable of both hydrogen production and solar desalination.
- The material shows excellent performance in hydrogen generation through water electrolysis, with very low energy requirement compared to traditional platinum-based catalysts.
- It is based on MXenes, which were modified into ultra-thin ribbon-like structures to improve surface activity and efficiency.
- Ruthenium atoms were introduced into the structure to enhance catalytic activity, improving charge transfer and increasing hydrogen evolution efficiency.
- The same material also functions as a solar-powered desalination system using a Janus evaporator, converting seawater into safe drinking water efficiently.
