University of Missouri researchers have devised a more efficient and precise method for manufacturing computer chips.

Of the coatings they tested, "Molybdenum was the best-performing material in acidic media, where the conditions for hydrogen evolution are favorable and facile," Garcia-Esparza explained.

They tested a bare platinum catalyst, with and without a molybdenum coating, during water electrolysis at SSRL, using in operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy with a custom-made electrochemical cell.

But, when thinned down to less than a nanometer thick, MoS2 demonstrates properties with great promise as a functional material for electronic devices and surface coatings.

During development on basis of simple discs, an optimum variant could be achieved, which showed superior lifetime compared to standard MoS2 coatings on the steels being relevant to the Harmonic – ...

In contrast, the molybdenum-coated catalyst continuously split water to generate increasing amounts of hydrogen gas for 24 hours, producing about twice as much hydrogen gas as the standard catalyst in ...
