A water electrolysis technology that uses a solid polymer membrane to conduct protons. PEM systems traditionally rely on platinum group metals as catalysts.

A new catalyst combining a cobalt-nickel nano-alloy core enclosed within a single graphene layer, with ultralow platinum atoms precisely deposited by atomic layer deposition. The material achieves exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and durability in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis systems.[1]
