A groundbreaking development in clean energy technology has emerged from Bengaluru, India, where researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) have introduced a novel high-entropy alloy (HEA) catalyst, PtPdCoNiMn, for enhanced hydrogen production through water electrolysis. This innovative catalyst, formulated based on guidelines from Dr. Prashant Singh of AMES National Laboratory, USA, and developed through advanced techniques like electrodeposition and solvothermal processes, showcased remarkable efficiency in hydrogen generation. By utilizing seven times less platinum compared to commercial catalysts and demonstrating superior catalytic efficiency and durability, the PtPdCoNiMn HEA catalyst presents a sustainable and cost-effective solution for clean energy production. The successful preparation of this HEA catalyst, capable of stable performance in practical applications including alkaline seawater, marks a significant milestone in the quest for cleaner and more affordable hydrogen production methods. Supported by funding from India's Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), the research signifies a crucial step towards revolutionizing industries and renewable energy technologies. The findings, published in renowned scientific journals, Advanced Functional Material and Small, underscore the importance of this breakthrough in advancing catalyst development for sustainable energy solutions.
