Abstract
, curvature effects, bubble management). Furthermore, we address challenges related to scalability, stability under industrial conditions, and integration into practical electrolyzer systems. Finally, we outline future directions for the development of high-performance, durable, and cost-effective hierarchical electrodes to advance the industrial implementation of water electrolysis for sustainable hydrogen production.
