- Researchers have created a new catalyst designed to make crucial oxygen-related catalytic reactions faster, more affordable, and efficient.
- They are from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru.
- It enhances oxygen-related electrocatalytic reactions.
- This catalyst aims to improve the efficiency and affordability of clean energy technologies.
- Traditional catalysts often rely on expensive precious metals, which pose cost and performance challenges.
- The new catalyst, developed using nickel selenide with iron doping, promises to address these issues effectively.
- Electrocatalysis is vital for clean energy applications.
- It plays an important role in processes like water splitting for hydrogen production and the synthesis of chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide.
- The research team began with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
- These materials have a porous structure ideal for chemical reactions but lack electrical conductivity.
