阴离子交换膜电解槽中各项技术因素对电解水性能的影响

文章亮点

  • (1) 全面地分析了AEM电解槽的电化学活性、电化学阻抗谱和活性位点数目。
  • (2) 系统地探究了各项技术因素（催化剂制备、膜电极组装和测试条件）对AEM电解性能的影响。
  • (3) 揭示了各项技术因素影响AEM电解槽性能的潜在机制。
  • 阴离子交换膜（AEM)电解槽是一种很有前途的“绿氢”制取技术。然而，AEM电解仍处于起步阶段，AEM电解槽的性能远落后于碱性和质子交换膜电解槽。AEM电解槽中不可逆电压损失主要与电极反应动力学以及电解过程中电子、离子和气相产物的输运有关。因此，突破AEM电解槽的技术壁垒至关重要。本文通过分析AEM电解槽的电化学活性、电化学阻抗谱和活性位点数目，探究了AEM电解槽各项技术因素对电解水制氢性能的影响。这些因素涵盖催化层制备（如催化剂、炭黑和阴离子离聚物负载量)、膜电极组装和测试条件(如电解液中的KOH浓度、电解液进料模式和操作温度)。此外，还揭示了各项技术因素影响AEM电解槽性能的潜在机制，为开发高效、稳定的AEM电解体系提供了理论基础和实验借鉴。

    Technical factors affecting the performance of anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer

    + Author Affiliations
      Abstract
    • Anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis is a promising membrane-based green hydrogen production technology. However, AEM electrolysis still remains in its infancy, and the performance of AEM electrolyzers is far behind that of well-developed alkaline and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. Therefore, breaking through the technical barriers of AEM electrolyzers is critical. On the basis of the analysis of the electrochemical performance tested in a single cell, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the number of active sites, we evaluated the main technical factors that affect AEM electrolyzers. These factors included catalyst layer manufacturing (e.g., catalyst, carbon black, and anionic ionomer) loadings, membrane electrode assembly, and testing conditions (e.g., the KOH concentration in the electrolyte, electrolyte feeding mode, and operating temperature). The underlying mechanisms of the effects of these factors on AEM electrolyzer performance were also revealed. The irreversible voltage loss in the AEM electrolyzer was concluded to be mainly associated with the kinetics of the electrode reaction and the transport of electrons, ions, and gas-phase products involved in electrolysis. Based on the study results, the performance and stability of AEM electrolyzers were significantly improved.
