Our team will develop novel, dense, polymer electrolyte separators based on polybenzimidazole (PBI) derivatives that will enable tuning of water/KOH uptake in mechanically robust films for advanced liquid alkaline water electrolysis (LAWE). These material advances will enable thinner separators with increased selectivity (hydroxide conductivity/hydrogen permeability), thereby enabling higher operating currents, increased dynamic operating high-temperature stability, and catalyst-coated membranes (zero-gap design advantages) in direct alignment with stated lab call goals.
In low temperature electrolysis (LTE), it is imperative to both enhance and explore durability and demonstrate the opportunities for anion exchange membrane-based water electrolysis (AEMWE). The advantage of alkaline-based systems is primarily reduced capital cost: high pH enabling platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts and coatings, and the enhanced stability of those components compared to proton exchange membrane (PEM) -based systems. Compared to the water-only fed AEMWE in previous LTE 2.0 work, supporting electrolytes can allow for a significant improvement in performance through higher site-access and stability by reducing utilization and overpotential stresses that lead to catalyst layer delamination.
This presentation summarizes ongoing technoeconomic analysis activities within task 3c and 9ciii under the H2NEW consortium. These results focus on FY24 accomplishments and ongoing work.
