Jakarta, June 14 -- The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has developed a NiFe-LDH/AgPO composite as an innovative material to boost clean hydrogen and oxygen production through the water splitting process.

A researcher from BRIN's Catalysis Research Center, Yusuf Mathiinul Hakim, in a statement here on Sunday, explained that hydrogen is one of the clean energy sources that plays a vital role in supporting the transition toward sustainable energy.

"NiFe-LDH material has been widely developed as a transition metal-based catalyst because it has relatively low production costs and good electrochemical activity," he said.

However, Hakim noted that limited conductivity remains a challenge in improving the material's performance...
