“…For example, graphene-based nanofiller is very versatile, being a popular reinforcing agent in enhancing mechanical properties, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and gas barrier property of polymer matrices in a wide range of applications [97]. Mahdi et al prepared a Nafion/sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO) nanocomposite membrane for deposition of the catalyst with low loading [98]. The nanocomposite membrane was synthesized by solution casting, followed by coating Pt nanoparticles on the surface (N.SGO.Pt) through the electroless deposition method by varying the mass ratio of sulfanilic acid/GO and Pt salt solution concentration.…”

Proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) is a major enabler of green hydrogen production. The development of water electrolyzers is a vital step in driving the progress of a hydrogen-based economy. The system inside the electrolyzer is a zero-gap cell featuring low ohmic resistance and boosted mass transport, leading to higher energy efficiency and minimized capital cost. Besides, utilizing PEM in the electrolyzer for sustainable hydrogen production enables the system to perform with many advantages, including superior energy efficiency, higher hydrogen purity, and high flexibility. Therefore, as PEM electrolyzers continue to evolve, sustainable hydrogen production on a larger scale will be realized in the near future. This review summarizes the status quo of PEM water electrolyzers in the past four years. We will start with a brief introduction of the core of a water electrolyzer, namely the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which will be followed by an introduction of fabrication methods of MEA, including catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) methods, catalyst-coated electrode (CCE) methods, and other innovative fabrication methods. Next, we will summarize recent attempts to modify electrodes and membranes in MEAs to promote the performance of PEMWE. Subsequently, catalyst development for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in MEA is discussed, highlighting novel HER/OER catalysts and strategies to reduce the content of noble metals. Lastly, conclusion and perspectives are provided to present a blueprint to inspire the future development of PEMWE.

“…Research on PEMFC can be summarized as preparation, modification and performance improvement of internal component materials, including new membrane materials and electrodes. The keywords of "polymer electrolyte membranes" [55], "nafion" [56], "composite membranes" [57] and so on, are related to the synthetic materials of PEMFC. Accordingly, the research on PEMFC materials has changed from traditional materials to new critical materials, while the keywords containing "conductivity" and "temperature" elaborate the characteristic of materials [58].…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with high density and safe reliability has been extensively studied in the world. With the circumstance of extensive PEMFC research, in this study we carried out a bibliometric analysis to understand the technological development. The information of 17,769 related publications from 1990 to 2022 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection for bibliometric analysis based on the VOSviewer tool. The results show that the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy dominates among all of the source journals. The closest collaboration is between China and the USA, and publications from both of those account for 53.9% of the total. In terms of institutions, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has prolific publications, in which representative groups, such as Shao Zhigang’s, have achieved many outputs in this field. The theme of PEMFC research can be divided into three aspects: “materials”, “design” and “mechanisms”. This study demonstrated overall mapping knowledge domain and systematic analysis, and contributed to making a guide for researchers on the progress and trends of PEMFC.

The electroless plating of metals and their alloys, oxides, and chalcogenides represents a critically important technology for the automotive, aerospace, machine tools, and, especially, the electronics industries. Since the initial efforts involving the plating of industrially important metals, such as Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, and Au, in the mid-20th century, the process has evolved to encompass a growing number of elements. At the same time, this expansion in the palette of accessible metals has enabled progress in these industries and evoked new nonconventional applications. In this review, we collect and survey available electroless processes in aqueous and organic solvent systems for each element organized according to position in the Periodic Table as a resource for the reader. Examples illustrating progress in the field are presented and are described in sufficient detail to be useful and understandable for both the expert and nonexpert. Given the historical importance of electronics as a driver for development of electroless processes, examples are electronics-related where possible. However, we strive to also include examples of applications in nontraditional fields to provide the reader with a sense of generality available for electroless methods. The review closes with an outlook for the field and a challenge to scientists and engineers to adapt electroless processes for new applications to continue the growth of the field.
