Lattice-water-assisted mechanism for high-efficiency iridium oxide catalysts in PEMWE

education and research

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

A newly discovered mechanism that enhances the performance of iridium oxide catalysts by arranging water molecules in a specific pattern.

A type of catalyst designed to facilitate the oxygen evolution reaction, which is a key step in water electrolysis for hydrogen production.
