New Research Increases Potential of Molybdenum Sulfide for Hydrogen Catalysis

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, Duke University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) has more potential than formerly thought as a catalyst for creating hydrogen to use as a clean energy source. The researchers specifically found that the whole surface of MoS2 can be used as a catalyst, not merely the edges of the material.
