Molybdenum carbide catalysts with low loadings of platinum can perform water–gas shift reaction at just above room temperature
An effective, stable catalyst that works just above room temperature can turn water and carbon monoxide into a stream of pure hydrogen and carbon dioxide.1 The development of a catalyst that works at much lower temperatures could be an enabler for a hydrogen economy, allowing the gas to be produced more cheaply.
