Argonne-led team develops new low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for PEM electrolysis

Green Car Congress

The lack of supply and high cost of iridium pose a major barrier for widespread adoption of PEM electrolyzers. A PEMWE containing this catalyst at the anode demonstrated a current density of 2000 milliamperes per square centimeter at 2.47 Production of green hydrogen at that cost could reshape the nation’s economy.
