A team led by the University of Glasgow in Scotland studied the electrodes coated with molybdenum telluride catalyst. They found that when the current applied to the electrodes in a specific high current pulse mode, the amount of hydrogen produced in the electrolysis process would increase. By optimizing the pulse pattern, the team said the new electrolysis scheme could halve the amount of electricity needed to produce a certain amount of hydrogen. In other words, this more efficient method of electrolyzing water can almost double the amount of hydrogen produced by the same electricity.
