An ever-increasing dependence on
green energy has brought on a renewed interest in polymer electrolyte
membrane (PEM) electrolysis as a viable solution for hydrogen
production. While alkaline water electrolyzers have been used in the
production of hydrogen for many years, there are certain advantages
associated with PEM electrolysis and its relevance to renewable energy
sources. PEM Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production: Principles and Applications discusses the advantages
of PEM electrolyzers over alkaline electrolyzers, presents the recent
advances of hydrogen PEM fuel cells accelerating the large-scale
commercialization of PEM electrolysis, and considers the challenges that
must be addressed before PEM electrolysis can become a commercially
feasible option.
Written by international scientists in PEM
electrolysis and fuel cell research areas, this book addresses the
demand for energy storage technologies that store intermittent renewable
energy and offers the most complete and up-to-date information on PEM
electrolysis technology and research.
The authors:
- Cover the fundamental applications of PEM electrolysis
- Review the state-of-the-art technologies and challenges related to each of the components of the PEM electrolysis
- Address failure analysis and review available failure diagnostic tools
- Provide future direction for researchers and technology developers
PEM Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production: Principles and Applications provides
a fundamental understanding of the requirements and functionalities of
certain components and attributes of the PEM electrolysis technology
that are common for both PEM fuel cells’ and electrolyzers’ hydrogen
applications for energy storage. Beneficial to students and
professionals, the text serves as a handbook for identifying PEM
electrolysis failure modes and diagnosing electrolyzer performance to
improve efficiency and durability.
