  • Synthesis of Molybdenum Catalyst Formulations for Hydrogen Generation
    Publication number: 20150167181
    Abstract: The inventions relate to a process for making a platinum-free metal oxide/graphene catalyst by simultaneous reduction of a metal salt and a graphite oxide into a metal oxide and graphene for hydrogen production. The process includes (i) mixing the metal salt and the graphite oxide (GO) in water to form a metal salt-GO composite; and (ii) irradiating the metal salt-GO composite with focused solar light to spontaneously form the metal oxide/graphene catalyst.
