Clean, alternative energy carriers will be needed as fossil fuel reserves are depleted. One possible energy carrier under consideration is H2, which can be produced cleanly and renewably if solar or wind energy is coupled to water electrolysis. Unfortunately, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is catalyzed most effectively by Pt group metals – materials that are expensive and scarce. New materials are needed if this scheme is to ever become viable.
