Benchmarking performance: A round-robin testing for liquid alkaline electrolysis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Liquid alkaline water electrolysis has gained considerable interest in recent years due to its promising role in an energy sector based on renewable energy sources. Its main advantage is the low investment cost of industrial alkaline water electrolyzers compared to other electrolysis technologies. A challenge remains in developing costefficient materials, stable in corrosive electrolytes, and offering competitive cell performance. Although there are many publications in liquid alkaline electrolysis, there is insufficient standardization of experimental conditions and procedures, reference materials, and hardware. As a result, comparability and reproducibility suffer, significantly slowing down research progress. This manuscript presents the initial efforts towards the development of such reference hardware and procedures within the framework of Task 30 Electrolysis in the Technology Collaboration Programme on Advanced Fuel Cells (AFC TCP) of the International Energy Agency (IEA). For this purpose, a homogenized setup including the electrolysis cell, functional materials, experimental conditions, and a test protocol was developed. The protocol and hardware were tested simultaneously at eleven different institutions in Europe and North America. To evaluate the success of this approach, polarization and run-in data were collected and analyzed for comparison, and performance differences were calculated. Significant disparities between the laboratories were observed and some key influence factors were identified: iron content in the electrolyte resulted to be a main source of deviation between experiments, along with temperature control and the conditioning of the cells. The results suggest that additional attention to detailed experimental conditions should be paid to obtain meaningful performance data in future research.
