Gas diffusion layer
The gas diffusion layer (GDL) in a hydrogen electrolyzer facilitates the even distribution of gases (hydrogen and oxygen) across the electrodes and supports the flow of electrons. Its structure and material are critical for optimizing the electrolyzer's efficiency as they ensure effective gas management and minimize energy losses.

The United Nations Comtrade database provides detailed trade statistics by product and trading partner. Imported and exported products are classified under the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS system), used uniformly by most customs authorities around the world. Based on the latest update of the HS system and data available in UN Comtrade, you can find below the relevant commodities related to this technology, including their HS codes and full descriptions.
We have classified these technology-related commodities into three groups: Midstream (chemical and material inputs of technology components), Downstream (fully assembled components or products), and Waste/Recycling (including recycled or waste products and components). Commodities are further arranged according to the relevant technology components.
