The NICKEFFECT project was a key partner in the CEN/CENELEC kick-off workshop held on June 18th, which focused on “Electrochemical characterisation at laboratory scale of non-noble porous metal-based electrodes for hydrogen generation in acidic medium”. This workshop marked the launch of a new CEN Workshop aimed at developing a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) to standardise critical electrochemical characterisation procedures for non-noble porous metal-based electrodes.   This initiative is particularly relevant to the NICKEFFECT project, which seeks to advance hydrogen production technologies by exploring alternatives to platinum-group metals (PGMs), addressing significant economic and sustainability challenges. The current lack of standardised laboratory protocols for non-noble metal-based electrodes leads to inconsistent data and difficulties in comparing results across research. This CEN Workshop aims to bridge this gap between research and industrial application by defining harmonised laboratory-scale testing protocols for non-noble electrodes used in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) in acidic media.   Workshop objectives and initial proceedings   The CWA...
