Harnessing spin: New electrocatalysts could transform hydrogen production efficiency

Electrocatalytic water splitting, a process that entails breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen, is a promising approach to produce clean hydrogen for fuel cells, which could in turn be used to power large electric vehicles. So far, the real-world use of this process has been limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key chemical reaction occurring at the anode.
