Development of a cobalt catalyst

The hydrogen Kobld
New technologies, such as the cobalt catalyst could increase the demand for cobalt.

Using a new technology, low hydrogen can be extracted from water. Cobalt catalysts are the magic formula. So could be a next step towards better fuel usage be made.

Scientists at Cambridge University could extract hydrogen from water using solar energy by having employed as inexpensive cobalt catalyst. This message deserves attention because so hydrogen can be used as fuel in conjunction with fuel cells. The new catalyst is inexpensive, takes only fresh water, works at normal room temperature and tolerate the oxygen present in the atmosphere.
