Description
Swapping magnesium into a nickel iron oxide makes it split water better, report Nyemaga Malima and co-authors in a 2023 study. The team cooked up thin sheets of the mixed metal ferrite without solvents, tuning the nickel to magnesium balance across the full range.
One blend needed far less extra voltage to release hydrogen than the pure nickel version, and another blend led on the oxygen side. The sheets kept the same crystal structure throughout, so the gains came from the local chemistry around the nickel atoms. The authors present the materials as cheap, green candidates for clean hydrogen production.
