Operando Raman Study Unveils Tautomerization Boosting CO2 Reduction in Zero-Gap Electrolyzers

Quick Summary

• The study published in Proceedings of the national Academy of Sciences (Volume 122, Issue 27, July 2025) focuses on advancements in electrocatalysis research.
• Findings highlight the potential use of zero-gap membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolyzers for future applications.
• Despite progress,the understanding of the “solid-liquid-gas” interface in MEA remains limited.

Indian Opinion Analysis
Advancements in electrocatalysis and MEA technology present promising opportunities for renewable energy initiatives globally and could be significant for India’s energy goals. As India increasingly seeks enduring solutions to its growing energy demands, technologies like zero-gap MEA electrolyzers may support clean hydrogen production-a priority under national green initiatives such as “National Hydrogen Mission.” However, continued research is crucial to address knowledge gaps around key interfaces within these systems to ensure reliable and scalable implementation.
