Researchers at Korea University develop high-performance textile-based electrodes for watersplitting

Green Car Congress

An electrochemical water-splitting reaction offers an effective pathway to generate hydrogen fuels and store electricity from various intermittent but renewable energy sources. Our approach can provide a promising tool for developing high-performance electrodes for water electrolyzers and other electrochemical energy devices.
