Design and development of defect rich titania nanostructure for efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in an acidic electrolyte

Cost-effective, efficient and stable electrocatalyst for water splitting in the acidic electrolyte medium has been developed. The acidic electrolyte could be a support for the high purity hydrogen production via water splitting. Accordingly, we have prepared the defect-rich titania nanostructure via...
