Spotlight on Us in Silicon Republic: A Major Leap for Green Hydrogen
Check out our feature in Silicon Republic! Our HERMES team at UL—Prof. Matthias Vandichel, Dr. Apinya Ngoipala, and Dr. Sousa Javan Nikkhah—have shown that palladium-hydride can match platinum’s performance as an electrocatalyst, offering a cheaper, scalable route to green hydrogen. This breakthrough in understanding palladium–hydrogen interactions paves the way for next-generation catalysts and brings us one step closer to a net-zero future.
Congrats to the entire HERMES collaborators on the recent Advanced Materials paper exploring this!
