Abstract

The invention discloses a surface fractal enhanced water electrolysis hydrogen production device and method, belonging to the technical field of electrolysis hydrogen production. The device includes an anode plate and a cathode plate. From the anode plate to the cathode plate, a first gas diffusion layer, a first catalyst layer, a proton exchange membrane, a second catalyst layer and a second catalyst layer are sequentially arranged between the anode plate and the cathode plate. Gas diffusion layer; the surface of the first gas diffusion layer and the surface of the second gas diffusion layer are provided with a convex-concave structure, and / or the surface of the first catalyst layer and the surface of the second catalyst layer are provided with a convex-concave structure. By setting the convex-concave structure, the fractal treatment is hydrophilic and gas-repellent, which helps the bubbles to escape from the orifice, reduces the gas coverage on the surface of the catalyst layer and the gas diffusion layer, and promotes the bubbles generated by the reaction to quickly reach the flow channel of the plate, improving the electrolysis process. efficiency. The corresponding method is to use the above-mentioned water electrolysis hydrogen production device to carry out electrolysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic hydrogen production, in particular to a water electrolytic hydrogen production device and method with surface fractal strengthening. Background technique [0002] Due to the trend of inferior crude oil, the shortage of crude oil resources and the upgrading of oil quality required by environmental protection, the demand for hydrogen in refineries continues to increase. And with the continuous advancement of technology, hydrogen energy can provide power sources for more vehicles, and the demand for hydrogen energy will further accelerate. [0003] Hydrogen production methods mainly include coal gasification, steam reforming and electrolysis of water, etc. Among them, electrolysis of water is the easiest method for large-scale application of hydrogen production, and the equipment used is simple, the preparation process is pollution-free, and the purity of the hydrogen produced is relatively high...
