Description
Yuqi Zhao and co-authors tune single cobalt atoms with phosphorus to split water with light at high speed, in a study from 2024. Lone atom catalysts can be potent, but their local electron setup must be just right for hydrogen making.
A phosphorus bake turned the cobalt site from an oxygen rich, electron poor form to a phosphorus rich, electron full form on a carbon sheet. Charge piled up at the site, and the energy hill for hydrogen making fell near zero. The final build made hydrogen many times faster than noble metal kin. Light use marks were high as well.
