This repository contains the primary datasets associated with the publication
“Cross-plane iridium-based filaments sap efficiency in Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers” (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2025.102238). It provides raw and processed data as used in the publication, organized into sub-folders by measurement technique. Each dataset folder includes its own README.txt file describing file formats and instructions for data handling.
The data were collected to investigate an aging phenomenon in PEM electrolysis cell MEAs involving the growth of cross-plane iridium filaments within the membrane, correlated with the porous transport layer design. The aim of the study is to improve efficiency, durability, and large-scale green hydrogen production.
