Under the background of large-scale high-proportion development of global renewable energy sources and 'carbon peak reaching' and 'carbon neutralization', the PEM hydrogen production technology becomes a core prime mover for promoting the rapid development of the green hydrogen industry, and an important way is opened for accelerating carbon emission reduction. With the proliferation of global GW-level green hydrogen construction projects, the market share of PEM devices will multiply. However, the expensive membrane electrodes and the relatively short operational lifetime are still the biggest problems facing large scale applications of PEM equipment compared to alkaline electrolysis. The treatment of the spent membrane electrode at the end of the life of the PEM unit from which the recovery of the proton exchange membrane and precious metals would be an important measure for both economic and environmental friendliness.

Due to the high cost and scarcity of platinum group metals, environmentally friendly recovery of platinum group metals from commercial sources (e.g., PEM fuel cells and PEM electrolyzer electrocatalysts) is of critical strategic importance. The existing research on recycling of waste membrane electrodes mainly aims at the field of PEM fuel cells, and generally dissolves a proton exchange membrane into a resin solution at high temperature and high pressure to serve as a membrane preparation raw material; the precious metal is recovered by dissolving platinum with aqua regia, then removing nitrate and concentrating to obtain chloroplatinic acid, and harmful gases such as NO are generated in the process. Currently, researches on membrane electrode recycling of PEM electrolytic cells are few, and due to different catalytic layer compositions on the cathode/anode sides of the PEM electrolytic water membrane electrode, separation and purification of different kinds of precious metals is a great technical challenge facing recycling of the PEM electrolytic water membrane electrode at present.
