There are several types of catalysts used in electrolysis, each with its specific properties and applications. The most common are:
Platinum-based catalysts: Highly effective but expensive, often used in PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis. Nickel-based catalysts: More cost-effective and commonly used in alkaline electrolysis. Transition metal oxides: Emerging as a cheaper alternative with promising efficiency.
The choice of catalyst depends on the specific requirements of the electrolysis process, including cost, efficiency, and durability.
