High-efficiency Steam Electrolyzer
We are developing a novel high-efficiency, high-temperature steam electrolyzer. Although water or steam electrolysis is well known to be one of the cleanest ways to produce hydrogen, widespread utilization is hindered by high operational costs because of high electricity consumption. To decrease the electrical power input requirements in electrolysis, our approach uses natural gas as an anode d...
متن کاملHigh Efficiency Steam Electrolyzer
A novel steam electrolyzer has been developed. In conventional electrolyzers, oxygen produced from electrolysis is usually released in the air stream. In our novel design, natural gas is used to replace air in order to reduce the chemical potential difference across the electrolyzer, thus minimizing the electrical consumption. The oxygen from the electrolysis is consumed in either a total oxida...
متن کاملLow Cost, High Efficiency Reversible Fuel Cell (and Electrolyzer) Systems
A reversible solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC)/electrolyzer system capable of storing electrical energy generated from renewable sources at projected round-trip efficiencies over 80% and providing backup power generated from propane at efficiencies over 60% (LHV) was studied. The systems perform all electrochemical functions using a single stack assembly with a unique systems design that stores both...
متن کاملEfficiency limits for photoelectrochemical water-splitting
Theoretical limiting efficiencies have a critical role in determining technological viability and expectations for device prototypes, as evidenced by the photovoltaics community's focus on detailed balance. However, due to their multicomponent nature, photoelectrochemical devices do not have an equivalent analogue to detailed balance, and reported theoretical efficiency limits vary depending on...
متن کاملA fully integrated nanosystem of semiconductor nanowires for direct solar water splitting.
Artificial photosynthesis, the biomimetic approach to converting sunlight's energy directly into chemical fuels, aims to imitate nature by using an integrated system of nanostructures, each of which plays a specific role in the sunlight-to-fuel conversion process. Here we describe a fully integrated system of nanoscale photoelectrodes assembled from inorganic nanowires for direct solar water sp...
