Abstract

The invention provides a hydrogen production method and device through electrolysis of water. The method comprises the following steps: under the action of direct current, an H<+> has a reduction reaction at a cathode to produce hydrogen and an OH<-> has an oxidation reaction at an anode to separate oxygen out simultaneously; the H<+> and the cathode are both located in a cathode chamber, the OH<-> and the anode are both located in an anode chamber, and the cathode chamber and the anode chamber are formed through separation by a bipolar membrane. According to the method, the bipolar membrane is adopted for the first time to separate an electrolytic cell into the anode chamber and the cathode chamber which are not communicated with each other, so that a hydrogen evolution reaction in an acid environment in the cathode chamber and an oxygen evolution reaction in an alkaline environment in the anode chamber can be performed synchronously, the voltage of the electrolytic cell is reduced, and energy consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, the acid and alkaline environments during electrolysis can be supplied continuously by a bipolar membrane water dissociation process, accordingly, acid and alkali are not consumed and pollutants are not produced when the method is adopted, and the industrial hydrogen production requirement can be met. The hydrogen production device through electrolysis of water has the advantages of simple structure and convenience in operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production, in particular to a method and a device for preparing hydrogen by using diaphragm electrolysis technology. Background technique [0002] As a common industrial raw material and special gas, hydrogen has been widely used in petrochemical industry, electronics industry, metallurgical industry, food processing, fine organic synthesis and other fields. In addition, because the calorific value per unit mass of hydrogen is the highest among all kinds of fuels when it is burned, it is more than three times the calorific value of petroleum fuels, and its combustion product is only water; at the same time, electrolysis of water can also produce hydrogen and oxygen, thus The recycling between water and hydrogen is realized, and no environmental pollution is produced during the cycle, making hydrogen gradually become an ideal secondary energy source, which has received more and more attention in ...
