Project Description
The project gives a clean technology with no toxic or greenhouses gases that is possible by using a combination of electrolysis and fuel cells. The renewable surplus electricity could be used to split the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen could then be converted back to electricity using a fuel cell. The mission is to work on a new Cobalt based selenides as electrocatalysts to facilitate the water splitting and fuel cell reactions.Project Details
