From cages to sponge: Transform morphs of clathrate materials into powerful green hydrogen catalysts
The Ba8ni6ge40 is made up of polyhedral cages made of nickel (gray) and germanium (purple), each containing barium atoms. Credit: Hongyuan Yang/Hzb/Tub Clathrates are characterized by complex cage structures that also provide space for guest ions. Now, the team is the first to investigate the compatibility of clathrates as catalysts for electrolytic hydrogen production with impressive results. The clathrate samples…
