Abstract
Various anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) were studied in the electrolysis cell using the non-precious metal-based catalysts showing the good potential of selected AEMs in low-cost water electrolysis application. The 0.1–1 M potassium hydroxide electrolyte is applied for high performance electrolysis process, whereas the usage of pure water leads to the significant AEM resistance increase. The post mortem MEA analysis, using SEM is performed to study the structure and morphology of catalyst layers transferred from the electrodes prepared by catalyst coated substrate approach. The importance of the catalyst layer–membrane interface and the binder used to bond the catalyst layer is discussed. AEM electrolysis safety aspect in terms of the hydrogen crossover through the 28 μm thin A-201 membrane is studied. The linear dependency of the permeated hydrogen flux on current density is shown. Hydrogen content in the anode outlet gas is less enough to ensure high safety of the AEM electrolysis technology in the operating currents range.
