Description

Method and device for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water step by step based on single-electrolytic-tank double-electrode two-step method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a method and a device for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water step by step based on a single electrolytic cell and double electrodes in a two-step method.
Background
Energy is an important guarantee for the operation of the human society at present. Since the second industrial revolution, the wide use of fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas has greatly promoted social development and improved quality of life of people, but has brought a series of problems such as greenhouse effect and air-sea land pollution. Meanwhile, China is used as an import country of petroleum and natural gas, and the development is restricted by energy export countries. Under the background of carbon neutralization and the rapid development of the state, the search for low-carbon energy with wide and reliable sources becomes an important subject.
At present, the capacity of water and electricity tends to be saturated, and people turn the attention to clean renewable energy sources such as wind power, photoelectricity and the like. However, the two kinds of energy are restricted by environment, the power generation is unstable, and the direct grid connection is easy to damage the power grid. The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is an important means to solve this problem. The hydrogen has small density and large specific energy, and only generates water in the combustion process, thereby not causing any pollution to the environment and being a good medium for storing energy. The raw material source of the electrolyzed water is very wide, and the electrolyzed water can be almost carried out at any time and any place. Therefore, the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is increasingly gaining attention.
The alkaline electrolytic water technology is developed earliest, is mature in industrialization and is most widely applied. However, hydrogen and oxygen are simultaneously generated during electrolysis, mixing easily occurs, it is difficult to directly obtain hydrogen with higher purity, and additional purification cost is often required. Acidic electrolyzed waters based on proton exchange membranes were subsequently developed, the presence of which could isolate the anode and cathode. Then the kinetics of electrochemical hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution are different, so that the pressure difference exists between two sides of the membrane, the membrane is easy to damage, and the service life of the device is shortened. Meanwhile, the price of the proton exchange membrane (such as a Nafion membrane) with good performance is higher at present, and the cost of the electrolyzed water is increased. The existence of the proton exchange membrane also increases the internal resistance of the electrolytic cell, so that the energy consumption of the electrolyzed water is increased and the energy efficiency is reduced.
Aiming at the problems, a method and a device for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water based on a three-electrode system through a two-step method (patent application number: 201510799110.3) and a device and a method for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water based on a three-electrode system and a double-electrolytic-tank two-step method (patent application number: 201610164054.0) are invented, so that the separation of hydrogen production and oxygen production steps in time is realized, and pure hydrogen and pure oxygen are prepared by alkaline electrolyzed water without a diaphragm. However, both of these methods are based on a three-electrode system, and switching of the electrodes connected to an external circuit is required between the hydrogen production and oxygen production steps, which increases the complexity of the electrolysis operation and reduces the feasibility. Meanwhile, frequent electrode switching is not beneficial to series-parallel integration of the electrolytic cell and large-scale industrial preparation of pure hydrogen.

the step (I) and the step (II) are alternately carried out to realize the preparation of high-purity hydrogen.
