The demand of green hydrogen, that is, the hydrogen produced from water electrolysis, is expected to increase dramatically in coming years. State‐of‐the‐art proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMWE) uses high loadings platinum group metals, such as Pt electrode where produced. Alternative electrodes based on phosphides, sulfides, nitrides, and other low‐cost alternatives are under investigation. Herein, a simple process for preparation RuP with activity evolution reaction (HER) acidic...
ZrN and TiN thin coatings have been investigated for use on stainless steel bipolar plates of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering using Ar N2 from metallic Zr Ti targets different substrates to perform a deep characterization their relevant properties. The effect the deposition parameters, such as N2/Ar ratio, working pressure, or supplied power, has explored. structural, electrical, compositional, optical properties films...
