In the third episode of the Science Chatter podcast series on the Natural Water to Hydrogen project at the University of Duisburg-Essen, host Theresa talks with postdoctoral researchers Da Xing and Ankit Kansara. Together, they discuss their work on anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis, a promising technology for producing green hydrogen using low-cost, earth-abundant materials. Da focuses on testing system performance and stability, while Ankit investigates the design and degradation of membranes. The conversation explores how AEM compares with PEM and alkaline electrolysis, the challenges of membrane durability, and the collaborative efforts across different research groups to make hydrogen production more efficient, sustainable, and PFAS-free.
