Novel nickel electrodes for more efficient AEM electrolysis<\/h1>\n

In a recently published study, an interdisciplinary research team from ZBT, the fem Research Institute, and Ruhr University Bochum has developed a novel nickel-based catalyst that significantly increases the efficiency of AEM electrolysis.<\/h4>\n

Catalysts for AEM electrolysers<\/strong> (anion exchange membrane electrolysers) do not require expensive precious metals. However, there is still room for reducing costs.<\/p>\n

Researchers from ZBT<\/strong>, fem Research Institute<\/strong><\/a>, and Ruhr University Bochum<\/strong><\/a> have made great strides in developing cost-effective and durable anodes for hydrogen production as part of a joint IGF-funded project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The performance improvement of the newly developed electrodes is based in particular on two key process steps<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
