Anion Exchange Membrane Based Electrolysis for Low-Cost Hydrogen Production

Vincent I, et al. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018, 81, 1690-1704.

Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) water electrolysis is a method of hydrogen production using AEM and electricity. The components of an AEM electrolyzer mainly include membrane, ion polymer, electrocatalyst and membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The key distinction between alkaline electrolysis and AEM electrolysis lies in the fact that AEM electrolysis replaces the conventional diaphragm used in alkaline water electrolysis.
Multiple Advantages of AEM Electrolysis
· Transition metal catalysts are used instead of precious metals (platinum group metals; PGM) as catalysts.
· Distilled water or low-concentration alkaline solutions can be used as electrolytes instead of concentrated KOH.
· The membranes containing quaternary ammonium ion exchange groups used in AEM electrolysis are cheaper than Nafion-based membranes.
· Since there are no metal ions in AEM, the interaction between CO2 and AEM is low.
· In addition, there is no corrosive liquid electrolyte in this technology, which has the advantages of no leakage, stable volume, easy operation, and reduced size and weight of the electrolyzer.
