The purpose and significance of studying water electrolysis catalyst

The purpose and significance of studying water electrolysis catalyst is to promote water utilization and energy conversion and reduce energy consumption.

1. Promote water utilization and energy conversion: Water electrolysis is a green and environmentally-friendly hydrogen production technology, which can decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen, and is applied to fuel cell manufacturing and metal processing. Therefore, studying the decomposition mechanism of water, improving the decomposition efficiency of water and reducing energy consumption can promote the sustainable utilization of water and energy conversion.

2. Reduce energy consumption: water electrolysis needs a lot of energy to decompose water, so how to reduce energy consumption is a problem worthy of discussion in industrial production. The research of water electrolysis catalyst can reduce energy consumption by improving reaction rate and efficiency, so as to realize energy saving and emission reduction in industrial production of water electrolysis.
