What Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) do I use for a Hydrogen Generator (Electrolyzer)?

From FuelCellsEtc

We've spoken already about Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) selection for a Fuel Cell; today we will cover some GDL considerations for Electrolyzers.

The Hydrogen side (Cathode) of an Electrolyzer (EZ) can be almost any gas diffusion layer GDL (or even no GDL) that you would like and that fits your own mechanical design. This can be common GDL materials like Toray Paper, Sigracet, Freudenberg, AvCarb, ...
