Researchers demonstrate use of 3D printing to produce and operate light-weight, low-cost electrolyzers

Green Car Congress

The use of 3D printing allows construction of light-weight, low-cost electrolyzers and the rapid prototyping of flow field design. This development opens the door to the fabrication of light-weight and inexpensive electrolyzers as well as related electrochemical devices such as flow batteries and fuel cells, they suggested.
