The '''Electrocatalysis Consortium''' (ElectroCat) is a Department of Energy initiative within the Energy Materials Network, established to overcome the high cost of platinum-based catalysts in fuel cells and electrolyzers by developing platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) alternatives. Launched in 2016 and co-led by Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories, ElectroCat employs high-throughput screening, computational modeling, and catalyst synthesis to expedite PGM-free catalyst research, now in its second phase (ElectroCat 2.0) as of 2020, expanding to electrolyzer applications.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.electrocat.org |title=ElectroCat Consortium |publisher=ElectroCat}}</ref> By fostering a collaborative network, it aims to make hydrogen technologies more affordable and competitive, supporting over 30 projects since its inception.
