Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Developments in water electrolysis technology are of great importance for future energy conversion and storage applications. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers are attracting particular interest for the production of green hydrogen for industry, energy storage, mobile, and heating applications. A big obstacle that currently limits their performance is the sluggish rate of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the PEM electrolyzer anode. This project identified and characterized CSI effects in oxide-supported Ir/IrOx OER catalysts. A physical band structure model accounting for the CSI was put forward. The project also explored new low-Ir catalyst concepts and materials (doped Ir oxides and supported Ir oxides), and has yielded new Ir cost-effective catalyst candidates. In addition, this project has revealed a previously elusive, new mechanistic kinetic description of the OER process. Unlike conventional electrocatalytic interfacial processes the rate of which responds directly to the interfacial electric field, the OER on Ir oxides has revealed a direct dependence of the pseudocapacitive surface charge. The results of this project were communicated in numerous scientific journal papers and communicated at several national and international scientific conferences.
