Less is more: Efficient Hydrogen Production with Less Precious Metals
In a step towards sustainable energy, a team of researchers at the University of Twente led by Dr Marco Altomare have demonstrated a new method to reduce the use of precious metals such as platinum in green hydrogen production without sacrificing performance. The researchers published their findings in the Wiley VCH scientific journal Advanced Functional Materials.
Dr. Marco Altomare consortium leader FORESEE
The FORESEE project, funded by TKI for Green Chemistry and Circularity, will be lead by Dr. Marco Altomare (PCS) to research steering formose selectivity through electrochemical reduction of aldehydes.
Funds for research towards green chemistry
Funded by NWO and the German ministries of Education & Research and Economic Affairs & Climate, Dr. Marco Altomare (PCS), and Dr. Aayan Banerjee (CPM), will lead the research for two out of five projects towards green chemistry 'Electrochemical Materials and Processes for Green Hydrogen and Green Chemistry'. This collaboration between Dutch and German research partners will support the technological challenges that is reducing CO2 to zero for both the German and Dutch governments by 2045 and 2050 respectively.
