Abstract: Described herein are proton exchange membrane style electrolyzers, and methods of making same, with a polybenzimidazole (PBI) or sulfonated polybenzimidazole (s-PBI) membrane and metal catalysts on the anode and cathode, which enables both acid independent membrane resistance and lower membrane resistance with higher operating temperatures.
