Abstract

Under the global “Dual Carbon” goals, hydrogen energy has emerged as a clean and efficient secondary energy carrier, positioning itself at the forefront of energy structure transformation. As the key technology for green hydrogen production, water electrolysis is experiencing rapid development. To facilitate its practical application, researchers have conducted extensive work on material optimization, structural innovation, and system integration, aiming to reduce costs, increase current density, and lower energy consumption. This paper systematically reviews and analyzes four major technological pathways for water electrolysis: alkaline electrolysis (ALK), proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEM), solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC), and anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEM). For each approach, we discuss the working principles, advantages and disadvantages, technical bottlenecks, optimization strategies, and industrialization progress. Our comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights and references for future research on hydrogen production via water electrolysis.
