The Rapid Electrochemical Activation of MoTe2 for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Scientific publishing and peer-reviewed research dissemination

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.

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.

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.
