Problems solved by technology

However, due to the use of noble metal catalysts in this process, the current efficiency is reduced, and the traditional electrolyzer structure is not conducive to the contact between the reactant and the inside of the electrode, so the current efficiency is low. For this reason, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN1584122 proposes a three The electrolytic cell system is to divide the electrolytic cell into three mutually isolated chambers: the anode chamber, the cathode A chamber and the cathode B chamber, the anode chamber and the cathode A chamber are separated by a cation exchange membrane, and the cathode A chamber and the cathode B chamber are separated by a porous The cathode is separated. Although the device improves the current efficiency to a certain extent, it is expensive and occupies a large area

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for electrochemically synthesizing borohydride. The device comprises an electrolytic cell which is composed of a cathode chamber and an anode chamber that are separated by porous ceramic plates; wherein, a cathode and an anode are respectively arranged in the interior of the cathode chamber and anode chamber; a hydrogen inlet is arranged at the side of the cathode chamber which is divided into two parts, wherein the lower part (8a) is a porous foam type structure and the upper part (8b) is an entity structure; the hydrogen inlet is directly connected with the interior of the cathode through a pipeline(11); and residual hydrogen is derived out through a hydrogen outlet (5) and enters the pipeline (11) through a pipeline (10) and a pressure pump (13). The device has the advantages of simple structure, higher current efficiency, smaller occupation area and the like. Besides, the cathode adopts the lower part of the porous foam type structure, which speeds up the hydrogen diffusion, increases the reaction area and improves the current efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrochemical synthesis device, in particular to a device for electrochemical synthesis of borohydride, which belongs to the field of fuel cell hydrogen sources. Background technique [0002] Today, fuel cells are highly valued by various countries, and are considered to be the first choice for efficient and clean power generation devices in the 21st century. At present, the main problem restricting the development of fuel cells is hydrogen storage, and the commonly used hydrogen storage methods have low hydrogen storage energy. Borohydride is a material with high hydrogen storage content. It can not only catalyze hydrolysis to release hydrogen as a high-capacity, high-purity hydrogen source material, but also directly electrochemically serve as a high-capacity negative electrode material. [0003] Recently, the chryler group of the United States and the H-Gene Tech.Alliance of Japan are developing a new type of fuel cell ...
