How Do Electrochemical Studies Benefit Renewable Energy Technologies?
Electrochemical studies are pivotal in advancing renewable energy technologies:
1. Water Splitting: By understanding the mechanisms of water oxidation and reduction, researchers can develop more efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production. 2. Fuel Cells: Electrochemical studies help optimize catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and hydrogen oxidation reactions (HOR), improving fuel cell efficiency and longevity. 3. Batteries: Investigating the electrochemical behavior of battery materials can lead to higher capacity, faster charging, and longer-lasting energy storage solutions.
