HydroGEN: Low Temperature Electrolysis
Abstract
In low temperature electrolysis (LTE), it is imperative to both enhance and explore durability and demonstrate the opportunities for anion exchange membrane-based water electrolysis (AEMWE). The advantage of alkaline-based systems is primarily reduced capital cost: high pH enabling platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts and coatings, and the enhanced stability of those components compared to proton exchange membrane (PEM) -based systems. Compared to the water-only fed AEMWE in previous LTE 2.0 work, supporting electrolytes can allow for a significant improvement in performance through higher site-access and stability by reducing utilization and overpotential stresses that lead to catalyst layer delamination.
