Pt Ir Ru Titanium Anodes For Efficient Hydrogen Production By Water Electrolysis

Principle of Water Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production
The technology of water electrolysis for hydrogen production dissociates water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases under the influence of a direct current, an electrochemical process. Hydrogen is produced at the cathode, while oxygen is generated at the anode. The electrolyzer cell, as the core component, heavily relies on the performance of electrode materials.

Impact of Electrode Performance
The efficiency of the electrolyzer cell, reflected in voltage requirements and energy consumption, is largely determined by the quality of electrode materials, directly impacting the overall costs.
