Water electrolysis offers a path to generate green hydrogen, which can be powered by renewables and clean electricity.<\/h2>\n
The green hydrogen generation process needs cathode and anode catalysts to accelerate the otherwise inefficient reactions of water splitting and recombination into hydrogen and oxygen.<\/p>\n
One of the most promising implementations of water electrolysis is the proton-exchange-membrane (PEM), which can produce green hydrogen by combining high rates and high energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
Difficulties faced with water electrolysis processes<\/h3>\n
To date, water electrolysis, and in particular PEM, has required catalysts based on scarce, rare elements, such as platinum and iridium.<\/p>\n
Only a few compounds combine the required activity and stability in the harsh chemical environment imposed by this reaction.<\/p>\n
