Water electrolysis cells operated at elevated temperatures (200 ° -600 °C) can overcome the kinetic challenges of low temperature electrolysis and the degradation challenge of high temperature electrolysis.
Not exact matches
Therefore, it must be first generated (e.g., by
electrolysis of
water), then stored, to be finally used — ideally in fuel
cells transforming chemical energy directly into electrical one.
This process could form the basis of a practical solar - energy storage system, Nocera says, in which electric current from a solar
cell passes through
water to the catalyst, breaking the
water into oxygen and hydrogen through
electrolysis.
If you do hydrogen evolution, producing hydrogen from
water, that's
water electrolysis, which produces clean hydrogen for fuel
cells and other applications.»
An M.I.T. researcher thinks he's found a way to efficiently use solar power to drive the
electrolysis of
water, which would isolate hydrogen for fuel
cells.
These include
electrolysis, which uses electricity to split
water into hydrogen and oxygen, and photoelectrochemical (PEC)
cells, which use sunlight to do the same thing.
Producing hydrogen and oxygen by the
electrolysis of
water (the hydrogen could later be used to power clean fuel -
cell vehicles, oxygen has many uses);
Solid oxide
electrolysis cell (SOEC) has the potential to be cost - effective, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient for the production of hydrogen from
water.
That said, there are seductive small - scale options emerging, like the Fronius Energy
