Study: Electrolysis - Latest scientific strategies and industrial development
This review spans from the fundamentals of electrolysis to the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research.
Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic development. To that goal, hydrogen is presumed to be the most promising energy carrier. Electrocatalytic water splitting, if driven by green electricity, would provide hydrogen with minimal CO2 footprint.
However, the viability of water electrolysis today still hinges on the availability of durable earth-abundant electrocatalyst materials and the overall process efficiency.
