Synthetic Molecule First Electricity-Making Catalyst to Use Iron to Split Hydrogen Gas
A fast and efficient iron-based catalyst that splits hydrogen gas to make electricity — necessary to make fuel cells more economical — was reported by researchers at the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, based at PNNL.

Adding Natural Elements to Synthetic Catalysts Speeds Hydrogen Production
By grafting features analogous to those in Mother Nature's catalysts onto a synthetic catalyst, scientists at PNNL created a hydrogen production catalyst that is 40% faster than the unmodified catalyst.
