LG Chem Develops PEM Electrolysis Electrode That Cuts Iridium Use for Green Hydrogen

LG Chem has developed a PEM electrolysis electrode that significantly reduces iridium consumption in green hydrogen production, lowering a critical cost bottleneck in the electrolyser supply chain. The breakthrough addresses material scarcity and cost constraints that have limited scale-up of water electrolysis for industrial hydrogen.
