Water electrolysis is the decomposition of water H 2 O into its basic components, hydrogen H 2 and oxygen O2 , through passing electric current. Through this process, electrical energy can be stored as chemical energy of the resulting hydrogen.
Water is an ideal source for producing hydrogen because it only releases oxygen as a by-product during processing. The hydrogen produced through the decomposition of water when using a renewable energy source is called green hydrogen.
Electrolysis transforms electrical energy into chemical energy by storing electrons in the form of stable chemical bonds. The new formed chemical energy can be utilised as a fuel or converted back to electricity when required. Electrolyser electrolysis cell consists of two electrodes called cathode and anode. A cathode is a negatively charged electrode, while the anode is positively charged. Both cathodes are separated by a membrane called electrolyte and surrounded by water.
There are different types of electrolysers, and they function in slightly different ways because of the use of the other type of electrolyte material. There are two types of separators, one is used in the electrolyser, and the other is for a fuel cell. The Water Electrolysis Separato r is needed when producing hydrogen, which has to stand against high temperature and humidity environments.
The Fuel Cell Separator is used in fuel cell and is needed for utilising hydrogen. The electrolyte is a compulsory part as pure water cannot carry enough charge due to the lack of ions.
At the anode, water is oxidised to oxygen gas and hydrogen ions. At the cathode, water is reduced to hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions. The electrons flow through an external circuit and the hydrogen ions selectively move across the PEM to the cathode. At the cathode, hydrogen ions combine with electrons from the external circuit to form hydrogen gas.
Solid Oxide Electrolyzers Solid oxide electrolyzers, which use a solid ceramic material as the electrolyte that selectively conducts negatively charged oxygen ions O 2- at elevated temperatures, generate hydrogen in a slightly different way. Steam at the cathode combines with electrons from the external circuit to form hydrogen gas and negatively charged oxygen ions.
The oxygen ions pass through the solid ceramic membrane and react at the anode to form oxygen gas and generate electrons for the external circuit. It is important to note Today's grid electricity is not the ideal source of electricity for electrolysis because most of the electricity is generated using technologies that result in greenhouse gas emissions and are energy intensive.
Electricity generation using renewable or nuclear energy technologies, either separate from the grid, or as a growing portion of the grid mix, is a possible option to overcome these limitations for hydrogen production via electrolysis. The U. Department of Energy and others continue efforts to bring down the cost of renewable-based electricity production and develop more efficient fossil-fuel-based electricity production with carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
Wind-based electricity production, for example, is growing rapidly in the United States and globally. Reducing the capital cost of the electrolyzer unit and the balance of the system.
