Novel electrocatalysts for green hydrogen by seawater electrolysis PhD

This research aims at discovery and development of novel iridium-free electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production by seawater electrolysis. Iridium is typically used as oxygen evolution reaction catalysts in water electrolysis. This hinders scalable production of sustainable hydrogen, as iridium is not only expensive, but also rare. A more sustainable alternative is needed to reduce the costs of hydrogen production.

Here, the PhD student will screen a large variety of sustainable metal oxides using high-throughput combinatorial vapour deposition techniques to develop understanding of the correlation between materials characteristics and electrochemical catalytic activities.
