Description

Method and device for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, in particular to a method and a device for producing hydrogen by water electrolysis.
Background
In recent years, the problems of global warming, environmental pollution, underground resource reduction and the like become increasingly serious, and renewable energy sources at home and abroad are greatly developed. However, renewable energy sources are not geographically uniform, and the output power thereof varies greatly, so that there is a limit in delivering electric power generated from natural energy sources to a general electric power system, and further, there is a large variation in the amount of generated electric power due to differences in weather and seasons. Therefore, the hydrogen production by electrolyzing water becomes a new energy storage and peak regulation means. With the development of hydrogen energy, the hydrogen production by water electrolysis is also a convenient hydrogen source supply mode.
At present, the hydrogen production by water electrolysis mainly comprises three technologies, namely alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysis hydrogen production and solid oxide water electrolysis hydrogen production. The solid oxide electrolysis technology has limited selection, sealing and operation control of electrolytic materials due to overhigh working temperature, and cannot be applied and popularized all the time. The alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production and the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production are relatively mature technologies, and the scale of the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production gradually develops to the MW scale. However, the cost of hydrogen production by water electrolysis is still high at present, and how to further improve the electrolysis efficiency and reduce the electric energy consumption of hydrogen per unit mass/volume becomes an urgent problem to be solved.
CN104364425A discloses a bipolar alkaline hydrolysis unit and an electrolytic bath, which take KOH solution as electrolyte solution, are the traditional alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production technology and have the problems of pollution, low efficiency and the like.
CN105483747A discloses a method and a device for improving electrolysis efficiency by using a bipolar membrane composed of an acidic solution in a cathode chamber, an alkaline solution in an anode chamber and a cation exchange membrane and an anion exchange membrane in the middle. However, bipolar membranes are currently used mainly in electrodialysers, the main characteristic being the conversion of water-soluble (or other solvent) salts into solutions of the corresponding acids and bases, without redox reactions taking place. The bipolar membrane has high price and short service life, and has no precedent for large-scale industrial application in China. Moreover, the bipolar membrane has high resistance, the selectivity needs to be further improved, and acid-base neutralization reaction is easy to occur in acid-base environment at present.
The SPE water electrolysis hydrogen production technology is totally called as the solid polymer electrolyte water electrolysis hydrogen production technology. The SPE membrane electrode is a metal + SPE composite membrane electrode structure formed by directly attaching an electrocatalyst to a membrane, and an ionic membrane solid electrolyte is used for replacing a liquid electrolyte, so that the SPE membrane electrode has the advantages of easy separation of products, capability of inhibiting side reactions and the like, and is currently applied to hydrogen production industries of various countries in the world. In the process of electrolyzing pure water by the SPE water electrolysis hydrogen production technology, due to the separation of the proton exchange membrane, a large amount of H is generated in the anode in the electrooxidation process+So that the pH of the anode is reduced, and the cathode consumes H due to a large amount of hydrogen+Causing the cathode pH to rise, bringing about a concentration potential. To overcome the concentration potential and maintain amperage, SPE cell tanks must be pressurized, thereby resulting in increased energy consumption.
At present, the water electrolysis hydrogen production technology which has high electrolysis efficiency, high purity of produced hydrogen, low power consumption and easy industrial application needs to be provided, and the cost of water electrolysis hydrogen production is reduced.
