Cobalt and tungsten — the key to cheaper, cleaner hydrogen

(Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ)) Researchers at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and Rovira and Virgili University (URV, both in Tarragona, Spain) presented their results in the prestigious scientific journal 'Nature Chemistry'. The new catalyst features cobalt and tungsten, Earth-abundant materials that are way cheaper than current alternatives, based in precious metals like iridium.
