How Do Electrochemical Systems Contribute to Renewable Energy?
Electrochemical systems are integral to renewable energy technologies. For example, in water electrolysis, catalysts enable the efficient conversion of water into hydrogen and oxygen, providing a clean hydrogen source for fuel cells. In batteries, especially lithium-ion and emerging solid-state batteries, catalysts improve charge and discharge rates and enhance energy density. These advancements are crucial for the transition to sustainable energy systems.
