A critical chemical process in hydrogen production that requires expensive precious metal oxides like ruthenium and iridium. The OER is a key step in electrolysis-based hydrogen production.

Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity sources, considered a critical component for hydrogen's long-term credibility as a clean fuel.

A computational quantum mechanical modeling method used to investigate the electronic structure of materials.

A collaborative research initiative between Meta's AI division and Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Chemical Engineering to develop machine learning models for simulating chemical reactions and identifying cheaper catalyst materials for hydrogen production.
