Magnetoelectric Effect in Hydrogen Harvesting: Magnetic Field as a Trigger of Catalytic Reactions (Adv. Mater. 19/2022)

Abstract

Hydrogen Evolution Reaction In article number 2110612, Chiara Gattinoni, Xiang-Zhong Chen, Salvador Pané, and co-workers demonstrate that the hydrogen evolution reaction can be triggered via the magnetoelectric effect when an alternating magnetic field is applied to an aqueous dispersion of composite multiferroic core–shell nanoparticles. These findings could provide cooperative pathways for maximizing hydrogen production yield by synergetic combinations of magnetic fields with other energy sources.
