The analysis includes research conducted over the past decade, covering from 2014 to 2023 (till August). Several key aspects are highlighted, including publication trends, the leading country in research output, journal rankings, and a citation analysis of papers related to water electrolysis. The findings reveal a notable increase in publication trends, with China emerging as the leading contributor in this research area. Furthermore, the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is identified as the highest-ranked journal in terms of both publication number and citation impact. Additionally, the top ten most cited research articles and review papers are investigated to determine their influence within the field. To gain a deeper understanding of water electrolysis methods, the three primary approaches: alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis, and solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) is examined. The analysis emphasizes that PEM electrolysis is the most prevalent method for hydrogen generation, particularly when integrated with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power due to its rapid response to electrical input fluctuation. Finally, the challenges and future directions of water electrolysis in hydrogen production are highlighted, including an exploration of economic and environmental considerations at large scale, offering insights into the path forward for advancing this technology sustainably. ? 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC Final 2025-03-03T07:44:29Z 2025-03-03T07:44:29Z 2024 Article 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.02.184 2-s2.0-85185559673 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85185559673&doi=10.1016%2fj.ijhydene.2024.02.184&partnerID=40&md5=a7410fc0665c715901cc75793b2a7aa1 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/36763 60 780 801 Elsevier Ltd Scopus |
