The project plans to develop an efficient water electrolyser prototype made of nonprecious materials. The recent breakthrough in developing cost-effective catalysts for water electrolysis has opened enormous opportunities for large-scale production of hydrogen fuels and storage of electricity generated from clean energy sources such as solar and wind. This project aims to develop a new generation of three-dimensional, nanostructured electrodes made of nonprecious metals for water electrolysis, which match or outperform the benchmark electrodes based on precious metals. In making these electrodes, the project plans to explore the fundamental behaviours of hierarchical nanoporous electrode architectures and discover new catalyst materials.

该项目计划开发一种由非贵重材料制成的高效电解水器原型。最近在开发具有成本效益的电解水催化剂方面取得的突破，为大规模生产氢燃料和利用太阳能和风能等清洁能源发电的储存提供了巨大的机会。该项目旨在开发新一代由非贵金属制成的三维纳米结构水电解电极，其性能与基于贵金属的基准电极相当或更好。在制造这些电极的过程中，该项目计划探索分级纳米孔电极结构的基本行为，并发现新的催化剂材料。
