The scientists and researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences operating under Department of Science and Technology have invented a low cost effective way to generate hydrogen from water using Molybdenum dioxide.
Molybdenum dioxide can act as efficient catalyst to reduce energy used in splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
The process is called electrolysis.
Molybdenum Dioxide has the potential to replace the catalyst that is being currently used Platinum.
The splitting of water is important to obtain hydrogen.
