In this episode, we focus on the importance of electrocatalysis in general and water splitting in particular. For that, Katarina Josifovska interviewed Prof. Dr. Kai Exner, an expert in this field.
Dr. Exner explains the fundamentals of electrocatalysis and why it is popular nowadays. Further, we discuss the oxygen evolution reaction, OER, as the limiting process in electrolyzers. Dr. Exner gave an overview of challenges in the OER, ranging from the atomic to the industrial scale.
