Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDC)

A class of materials including molybdenum telluride that show promise as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. These materials undergo 'in operando' activation during operation.

High-Current Pulse Optimization

A technique involving the application of optimized patterns of high-current pulses through an acidic electrolyte to enhance hydrogen generation efficiency. This method reduced energy requirements by approximately 50%.

Molybdenum Telluride (MoTe2) Catalyst

An electrode coating material that significantly enhances hydrogen generation during electrolysis. When electrodes are covered with this catalyst and subjected to optimized high-current pulse patterns, they produce approximately double the hydrogen per millivolt of electricity.
