The invention discloses a
system and a method for regulating and controlling the
humidity of a
cathode of an
anode independent liquid supply AEM electrolytic bath. The
system and the method are used for solving the problem of
drying of a
cathode film surface under
high current density. The
system comprises an electrolytic bath main body, a gas-liquid separation module and a humidification module. And an interface
humidity adjusting layer is arranged in a
cathode membrane electrode assembly of the electrolytic bath main body. Wet
hydrogen produced by the cathode enters the gas-liquid separation module through the outlet to separate
liquid water, and the
liquid water is conveyed to the humidification module at the inlet end of the cathode and is converted into
water vapor or
fog drops to be mixed with
hydrogen produced by the cathode to form humidified
hydrogen backflow.
Moisture in the humidified hydrogen is adsorbed by the interface humidifying layer and is uniformly diffused to a cathode film-
electrode interface in the in-plane direction of the interface humidifying layer so as to maintain interface
wetting. According to the method, independent
moisture closed-loop circulation on the cathode side is constructed, so that self-regulation of the
humidity of the cathode under the condition that
external liquid supply is not needed is realized, the problems of
moisture loss and non-uniform distribution caused by electroosmosis dragging are solved, and the operation stability and durability of the AEM
electrolytic cell under
high current density are remarkably improved.
