Summary
Hydrogen is used as transportation fuel, to produce ammonia for fertilizers, and to upgrade oil for numerous products. This project seeks to lower the cost of producing hydrogen by improving water electrolysis technology. Electrolyzers use ion-conducting membranes as separators. The project will identify relationships between membrane polymer structure of the membrane and its performance in an electrolyzer. These relationships are not well understood. The goal is to design efficient ion-conducting membranes that remain stable over time. The results of the project will help guide membrane desi
