Can hydrogen production work reliably in the changing conditions of the open ocean?
Can acidic water electrolysers retain efficiency and long operating life while using much less iridium?
An electrolyzer can make hydrogen without circulating caustic solution. Can its catalyst layers keep conducting ions and releasing gas as their polymer binder ages?
