Ion migration and gas diffusion are two of the most critical topics in water electrolysis. Many self-supported electrodes (SSEs) exhibit efficient performance in fundamental research studies due to their excellent gas diffusion. However, such performance is not guaranteed in large-scale electrolyzers due to the extremely large ion-migration resistance of these SSEs. Here we find that a commercial SSE
