New method extends lifespan of iridium catalysts for hydrogen production

Researchers have proposed a new way to make iridium catalysts last longer in water electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen without CO₂ emissions. The approach could make hydrogen production more durable and cost-effective.

• Iridium catalysts are used in water electrolysis for hydrogen
• The process produces hydrogen without CO₂ emissions
• New method improves catalyst durability
