We at SMENA have developed a new game-changing material, which is useful for numerous applications. The starting point of our material is an abundant mineral called molybdenite, whose price is only 5$/kg. Using a scalable, patented, and environmentally friendly process, we managed to produce a large number of edges in flakes of natural molybdenite.
These edges contain many "active sites", which are useful for sensing gas molecules and electrocatalytic water splitting (production of hydrogen).
