Researchers develop highly efficient, durable catalyst for chlor-alkali electrolysis

Phys · · 318 words · By Hefei Institutes; Chinese Academy

A research team led by Prof. Yin Huajie developed a high-performance, durable catalyst, 3D Ce–Co3O4, for chlor-alkali electrolysis. The catalyst was developed through systematic investigation into catalyst design and active-site regulation. The study demonstrated that the new material maintains stable, efficient operation under conditions simulating industrial electrolysis.
