| SNAKE ON THE SAND | ||

| A shape of a snake slithering over the sea sand can be imagined in this Co layer supported on silicon. This Co film synthetized by magnetron sputtering, is used as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride, which produces hydrogen for non-contaminant energy applications. The SEM image shows the columnar coating in an imperfection of the substrate. Magnetron sputtering technique has proven to be able to cover different substrate morphologies homogeneously and being a suitable technique to synthesis supported catalyst, which is highly desirable for reactor design. | ||
