Explore water splitting cells, focusing on electrode pair design, gaps and solid polymer electrolyte membrane configurations, and how gas separation, flow, and current density depend on spacing.
Apply Faraday's law to relate electrode charge to gas output and define parity efficiency as the measure of relation, then outline alkaline, PEM, and solid oxide cells and their membranes.
Examine energy efficiency in water electrolysis, explain how to calculate cell efficiency, and identify factors like charge transfer at interfaces and ionic transport that affect electrolyzers.
Explore the classification of electrolytes into low and high temperature groups, detailing alkaline and acid electrolytes, polymer membranes, exchange membranes, and solid oxide electrolytes in future lectures.
Explore alkaline electrolysis electrodes and catalysts, highlighting nickel and nickel oxides for oxygen evolution, and nickel-sulfur alloys for hydrogen evolution, focusing on activity, stability, and electrochemical surface area.
Explore how a diaphragm or separator in alkaline electrolytes prevents charge between electrodes and recombination while enabling hydroxide transport, using a polymer with zirconium oxide filler up to 0.5 mm.
An anion exchange membrane in the membrane electrode assembly enables hydroxide transport with low gas permeability and lower mobility than protons, while offering mechanical strength and water stability.
Explore solid oxide electrolyzers, high-temperature systems that use steam to split water into hydrogen and oxygen with ceramic electrolytes and nickel and lanthanum strontium manganite electrodes.
Explore how to evaluate water electrolysis performance using electrochemical techniques, including constant-potential testing, temperature control, and cyclic voltammetry to assess durability, catalyst surface area, and oxygen evolution reaction behavior.
Explore opportunities in green hydrogen as a key renewable energy resource, with market growth from 0.3B in 2020 to 9.8B by 2028, fueled by emissions reduction.
