Funded Activity Summary

Three-dimensional, precious-metal-free electrolysis of water. The project plans to develop an efficient water electrolyser prototype made of nonprecious materials. The recent breakthrough in developing cost-effective catalysts for water electrolysis has opened enormous opportunities for large-scale production of hydrogen fuels and storage of electricity generated from clean energy sources such as solar and wind. This project aims to develop a new generation of three-dimensional, nanostructured electrodes made of nonprecious metals for water electrolysis, which match or outperform the benchmark electrodes based on precious metals. In making these electrodes, the project plans to explore the fundamental behaviours of hierarchical nanoporous electrode architectures and discover new catalyst materials.
