New catalyst cuts iridium use by 80%, pushes green hydrogen closer to reality
SMRTR summary
Rice University researchers developed a breakthrough catalyst that reduces iridium use in green hydrogen production by over 80% while maintaining industrial performance for 1,500 hours. This innovation addresses hydrogen's biggest economic barrier since iridium costs $160 per gram and projected electrolyzer demand could consume 75% of the world's annual supply.
