Answer: Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru
Notes: The Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) in Bengaluru, India developed the high-entropy alloy (HEA) catalyst for hydrogen production. CeNS is an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The catalyst is made of platinum, palladium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese (PtPdCoNiMn). The catalyst was prepared using two methods: electrodeposition and solvothermal processes. The catalyst is more efficient than pure platinum and uses seven times less platinum than commercial catalysts. The catalyst is stable and efficient for over 100 hours in alkaline seawater.
