Dedicated to accelerating the research and development (R&D) of advanced water splitting (AWS) technologies for renewable, low-cost hydrogen production, HydroGEN (https://www.h2awsm.org/) is one of seven of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Materials Network (EMN) consortia. HydroGEN comprises six core national laboratories and focuses on four AWS pathways: low- and high-temperature electrolysis, photoelectrochemical, and solar thermochemical water splitting. The consortium provides streamlined access to world-class expertise and experimental and computational capabilities. Current activities span 20 university, industry and national laboratory R&D projects which seek to discover and design new materials, increase the efficiency and durability of water-splitting systems, and advance manufacturing and scale-up efforts. Further, HydroGEN is committed to connecting the AWS research community by developing a data platform for secure data transfers and public data sharing as well as supporting the development of comprehensive best practices and benchmarking methods. |
