Segalman, Ager and co-authors present a versatile microfluidic test-bed for testing of integrated catalysis and mass transport components for energy conversion via water electrolysis in their recent PCCP Communication.

Their microfluidic electrolyzer for water splitting can be integrated with different anode and cathode materials, which can be easily exchanged and tailored at scales amenable to research activities, therefore allowing the performance of integrated devices to be readily assessed. In addition, their novel design can be easily adapted to allow direct solar irradiation and, consequently, artificial photosynthesis.
