Cobalt based anode for highly stable alkaline water electrolysis under operation conditions beyond industrial requirements
Nature · By Jinchao Zhu ·
The Brief
- Hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis is limited by anode durability under industrial conditions.
- The authors report a cobalt–nickel layered double hydroxide anode.
- The paper reports high stability under operating conditions beyond industrial requirements.
Why it matters
Anode durability is a known bottleneck for alkaline water electrolysis, so a more stable anode could bear on the reliability of hydrogen production.
