The experiments involved electrodes made from different materials, including pure Ti, TiO\u2082, Ag, and Ag+TiO\u2082 nanocomposites. The results revealed discrepancies between laboratory and industrial performance, leading the researcher to recommend combining electrochemical analysis with surface characterization techniques for more accurate and reliable industrial performance assessment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second paper, titled: &#8220;Experimental Investigation of the Performance of Two Low-Cost 5-kW Alkaline Electrolyzer Prototypes Based on Size and Applied Voltage&#8221;, was published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, which is classified in Quartile 1 (Q1) and has an impact factor of 8.1.<br \/>\nThis study focused on the experimental performance of two low-cost 5-kW alkaline electrolyzer prototypes by testing stacks of different sizes (400 cm\u00b2 and 825 cm\u00b2) under various NaOH concentrations. The results showed the smaller prototype (400 cm\u00b2) outperformed the larger one in terms of current density and energy efficiency, achieving hydrogen production at a rate of 5 SLPM at 15 volts and 5% NaOH concentration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These two studies represent a significant scientific contribution to the field of hydrogen production and clean energy, offering results and recommendations that support global efforts toward sustainable energy and the development of practical and efficient solutions in this vital area. Moreover, this research supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which promotes quality education, and SDG 17, which calls for partnerships to achieve the goals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTIwdmFyJTIwdHJhbnNfcGFnZSUzRCUyMjEyMTYwMCUyMiUzQiUyMCUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_js][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Prof.Dr. Farqad Ali Latif, a faculty member in the Department of Civil Engineering at the College of Engineering, University &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":55116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"yes","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-breaking-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
