Description: b421f4dc-89d8-49c1-b822-6906822251e1

AEM water electrolyzer prototype featuring a CuW-based gas diffusion cathode on nickel foam support, demonstrating stable operation at 1 A/cm² current density over a one-week continuous testing period. The dry-cathode configuration eliminates the need for liquid catholyte, improving system efficiency and simplifying operation.
