Project Summary
This PhD project focuses on advancing non-precious metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWE). By optimizing catalyst design and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) integration, the project aims to enhance hydrogen production efficiency and durability while reducing reliance on platinum-group metals (PGMs). The research will combine experimental synthesis, advanced characterization, and electrochemical testing to address key challenges in green hydrogen technology.
Objectives
- Design and synthesize high-activity transition metal-based (e.g., Ni, Fe) HER catalysts using methods like electrodeposition, solvothermal synthesis, and pyrolysis.
- Optimize catalyst morphology and electronic structure to regulate OH⁻ adsorption and mitigate electrode flooding.
- Develop 3D-ordered or self-supported MEAs to improve charge transfer and gas diffusion in AEMWE systems.
- Achieve stable cell voltages
