Opis projektu
Innowacyjna elektroliza wody do produkcji czystego wodoru
Unia Europejska wyznaczyła cel zainstalowania co najmniej 40 GW odnawialnych elektrolizerów H2 do 2030 r. w ramach swojej strategii w zakresie wodoru. Osiągnięcie tego celu stanowi jednak poważne wyzwanie dla technologii elektrolizy wody. Obecnie stosowana elektroliza wody alkalicznej z zerową przerwą (AWE) może być opłacalna i skalowalna, ale wymaga dalszej optymalizacji pod względem aktywności, stabilności i przenikania gazów w celu zwiększenia wydajności i żywotności systemu. Finansowany ze środków UE projekt SEAL-HYDROGEN ma na celu stworzenie nowego systemu AWE, który łączy klasyczne zalety z zaawansowanymi innowacjami. Projekt proponuje wykorzystanie zrównoważonych, opłacalnych, dwuwymiarowych, warstwowych podwójnych wodorotlenków (LDH) zamiast katalizatorów opartych na metalach szlachetnych. Jego celem jest przyspieszenie przejścia do komercyjnego wykorzystania elektrolizy wody.
Cel
The EU Hydrogen Strategy sets the goal of installing at least 40 GW of renewable H2 electrolysers by 2030, which imposes significant challenges for water-electrolysis technology. Although current zero-gap alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) has potential for cost-effectiveness and scalability, it needs further optimization in activity, stability, and gas crossover to increase efficiency and system lifetime.
This project will develop a new class of AWE combining proven benefits of classic systems with cutting-edge innovations in materials science, catalyst design, and process engineering. Driven by an industrial-feasibility vision, a system that is both technically advanced and economically viable for large-scale commercial deployment is pursued. The proposed innovations include highly efficient and earth-abundant two-dimensional layered double hydroxides (LDH) obtained through a starightforward synthetic route, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to noble metal-based catalysts. An innovative technology for up-scaling the production of LDH layers by direct growth of catalysts in porous transport electrodes will be implemented and explored on commercial separators. The interplay between the substrate, catalyst, and separator will be thoroughly optimized through the development of triple-phase boundary electrodes (catalyst-support-ionomer) structures with improved thermo-mechanical stability. A reliable method based on Raman spectroscopy, will be developed for the precise determination of electrode stability, offering an appropriate quality control of great interest both in research and industry. The optimal design will be assembled and tested, first in single cells of 5 cm², then in 25 cm², and finally scaled to a 6-cell stack of 300 cm², to demonstrate a next generation technology with improved performance, stability and durability, aimed to accelerate the commercial uptake of water electrolysis and turn green H2 into an economically viable solution.
