The energy transition will require novel large-scale equipment for energy conversion, e.g. for the production of hydrogen. The components of such equipment (electrodes, membranes) will also need to be manufactured at large scale, while working economically with the required scarce metals. Our research aims at developing production methodologies to achieve this.
