Current Research in Advanced Water Electrolyzer in the United States and Abroad

摘要

An overview on advanced water electrolysis systems for H sub 2 production is provided. The survey of the work sponsored by the Department of Energy through Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) includes: General Electric's scale-up of SPE technology; Teledyne's identification of the best available electrodes and separators for advanced alkaline systems; Life Systems' testing of a novel static water feed concept; and advanced electrolysis research at BNL. Also included is recent progress in Canada, Europe (development of inorganic ion exchange membranes), and Japan (alkaline and SPE plants) which is based on information reported to the International Energy Agency.
