"Breakthrough Catalyst Unlocks Water's Potential for Green Hydrogen"

Researchers have developed a novel iridium-free catalyst for proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) water electrolysis, using cobalt-tungsten oxide and a delamination process that incorporates water and hydroxyl groups into the catalyst structure. This breakthrough achieves high activity and stability at industrial conditions, potentially reducing reliance on scarce iridium and advancing green hydrogen production.
