Next-generation electrolyzers and electrolysis

Abstract: Electrolyzers have been refined to reach a minimized gap between the electrodes, exemplified by the “zero gap” membrane electrode assembly in water electrolyzers. In this talk I will discuss the design and development of the Porous Solid Electrolyte (PSE) reactor, where this gap is re-opened to fully leverage ionic transport for broader applications beyond molecular transformations in electrolysis.
