Anode – Typically made of reactive materials like lithium or zinc, the anode undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons. Cathode – A material capable of accepting electrons, the cathode undergoes ...

A porous polymer membrane separates the anode and the cathode to prevent a short circuit. The electrolyte is the final component, usually a conductive salt solution, that facilitates the transport of ...

Electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to drive desired chemical reactions, could enable the production of clean hydrogen (H 2) gas from water (H 2 O) and the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2) ...
