The article explores the pivotal juncture of procuring and integrating hydrogen as a transformative milestone in sustainable energy. The environmental impact is scrutinized through distinctions between "gray," "blue," and "green" hydrogen, with green hydrogen, derived from renewable sources, standing out for its potential to combat climate change. The method section details an investigation into the electrocatalytic activities of Ni-Mo thin films as cathodes in water electrolysis. The study underscores the effectiveness of these films, particularly the non-thermally treated ones, as cathodes in a neutral environment. The chemical reactions during electrolysis are outlined, and the catalytic activity is compared with other electrodes, revealing promising results for Ni-Mo thin films. A method for preparing solutions and an electrochemical coupling device used for deposition are also given.. The conclusion emphasizes the advanced idea of using hydrogen as a main energy source, calling for measures, legislative initiatives, and support for innovative projects to propel the development of hydrogen-based energy solutions.
