Bipolar Membrane and Water Splitting in Electrodialysis

Abstract The traditional view of the conductivity electrolytes is based on mobility ions in an electric field. A new concept water introduces electron–hole mechanism known from semiconductor theory. electrolyte hydrogen bond network imitate structure a doped silicon lattice. source current carriers electrode reaction generating H + and OH − ions. continuity flow provided through mechanism, movement only side process. Bipolar membrane approach electrochemical diode forward biased. Generation large amounts has to be considered as result does not require any increase dissociation rate. membranes are essential electrodialysis stacks for recovery acids bases by salt splitting.
