Virginia Larson is improving our understanding of liquid alkaline water electrolysis by characterizing the effects of electrolyte impurities, especially iron, on cell activity and durability. She uses single-cell electrochemical testing and characterization of the electrodes (scanning electron microscopy [SEM], SEM-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) and electrolyte (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry) to determine how impurities impact hydrogen production.
