Researchers Create Catalyst That Cleans Dirty Water And Produces Hydrogen

Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have developed a dual-purpose catalyst that purifies herbicide-tainted water while also producing hydrogen. The project, which included researchers from the OSU College of Engineering and HP Inc. is important because water pollution is a major global challenge, and hydrogen is a clean, renewable fuel. Findings of the study, which explored photoactive catalysts have been published in the journal ACS Catalysis. OSU’s Kyriakos Stylianou said, “We can combine oxidation and…
