Advanced Water Splitting Technologies (AWST)

AWST Benchmarking Project

The project goal is to create a comprehensive protocol and best practices benchmarking framework at the materials, component, device, and systems levels for advanced water splitting technologies - high and low temperature electrolysis (HTE and LTE), photoelectrochemical (PEC), and solar thermochemical (STCH) water splitting.

Procedures and best practices for handling hydrogen safely.

Explore the Protocols

This website serves as a centralized hub for the international water splitting community to find, access, use, communicate, and contribute to the development of essential benchmarking deliverables. These include:

  • Publications
  • Measurement protocols
  • Standardized measurement results & data
  • Standards and best-practices
  • Lessons learned
  • Relevant meetings and community feedback
  • Opportunities for project involvement

To ensure global agreement on measurement protocols and reporting, this platform aims to:

  • Consolidate international codes, metrics, standards, and reporting methods into one universally accepted system.
  • Build community-wide consensus through transparent discussions, peer-reviewed contributions, and shared expertise.
  • Encourage international organizations and researchers to align their methodologies to enhance credibility and consistency.

The platform promotes broad adoption of standardized measurement protocols by highlighting key benefits:

  • Resolving discrepancies between seemingly equivalent measurements.
  • Preventing errors in measurement, analysis, and reporting that can lead to:
    • Wasted time and effort for researchers.
    • False discoveries that mislead the scientific community.
    • Loss of funding and credibility across international collaborations.

Additionally, this website can serve as a learning tool for students and researchers who are new to the field. A dedicated page could provide introductory materials, explain fundamental concepts, and offer guidance on adopting best practices.

The benchmarking framework supports progress and innovation by:

  • Ensuring consistent methodologies that reduce errors in reporting.
  • Creating a collaborative environment where researchers can validate and refine protocols.
  • Encouraging discussion on emerging standards to keep pace with advancements in the field.
  • Providing access to real-world examples of how proper benchmarking enhances accuracy.

To encourage adherence to accepted best practices and highlight the success of standardized methodologies:

  • A repository of high-impact publications that successfully implemented benchmarking protocols can be featured.
  • Recognizing outstanding contributions through spotlight publications, showcasing rigorous application of standards.
  • A dedicated section linking peer-reviewed articles that exemplify best practices.
