Cubes outperform spheres as catalyst particles

Thus far, nanoparticles as catalysts for inexperienced hydrogen have been like rowers in an eight: researchers might solely measure their common efficiency, however could not decide which one was the very best. Scientists have demonstrated that cube-shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles are extra environment friendly than spherical ones. This paves the way in which for the systematic design of cost-effective and environment friendly catalysts for inexperienced hydrogen.
