Abstract: Electrolysis is the key technology for the energy transition, converting renewable energy into hydrogen. However, a big stumbling block in achieving higher efficiency of this process are the bubbles created on the electrodes as they block them and enhance the resistance. In this talk I will report our latest experimental, theoretical, and numerical (MD and simulations based on the advection-diffusion equation) results on the role of bubbles in electrolysis and how to mitigate their harmful effect.
