But the problem with this method is that it needs expensive metals like platinum, and ruthenium to remain in an acidic environment.<\/span><\/p>\n An alternative to this method is anion exchange membranes(AEMs). This method can operate under alkaline conditions, so they don’t need expensive metals. Hence, the materials involved are thus some 3,000 times less expensive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, AEMs have not found commercial success in hydrogen electrolysis because they don’t perform as well, and they don’t last as long.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>This post is based on the article<\/span> \u201c<\/b>India\u2019s first pure green hydrogen plant commissioned in Jorhat<\/b>\u201d<\/b> published in<\/span> PIB <\/b>on 20th April 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
