An electrolyzer for gaseous production such as hydrogen gas includes an oscillating electrode driven at a natural frequency of the gaseous bubbles improves output by readily removing the gaseous bubble product from the electrode surface, thereby exposing greater electrode surface area for subsequent electrolysis reactions. A natural frequency of the gaseous product determines an oscillation frequency with which to drive the electrode accumulating the gaseous product, such as hydrogen bubbles, to agitate and release the bubbles which then rise to the surface of the liquid filled containment. Integrating oscillation logic for agitating the otherwise stationary electrode or cathode in a PEM water electrolyzer improves hydrogen production by readily evacuating the generated hydrogen to free up the electrode area for additional electrolysis reactions.

Described herein relates to a method that may be used for synthesizing a bifunctional electrocatalyst for electrochemical water splitting. The method may involve anodically converting an electrodeposited iron-nickel alloy film into an iron-nickel-oxygen nanofilm, followed by sequential phosphorization and/or selenylation treatments via chemical vapor deposition to form a quaternary iron-nickel phosphoselenide nanoporous film. This self-supported catalyst can facilitate both hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions, improving electrolysis efficiency. The inclusion of selenium may enhance electrical conductivity and stabilize catalytic performance, while the nanoporous structure can optimize mass transport. The film may be used as both anode and cathode in a two-electrode electrolyzer, enabling hydrogen production from pure water or seawater. Notably, the catalyst can demonstrate high turnover frequency and low overpotential, potentially surpassing conventional noble-metal-based catalysts. The system's stability under prolonged operation may underscore its potential for scalable hydrogen generation, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and advancing renewable energy applications.
