Abstract

The invention provides a reaction device for producing hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water. The reaction device comprises a current collector-free proton exchange membrane-free self-supporting electrode electrolytic bath,two sets of gas-liquid separators, two sets of drying pipes, an alkali liquor box, a hydrogen storage tank, an oxygen storage tank and a silicone tube; the current collector-free proton exchange membrane-free self-supporting electrode electrolytic bath comprises a cathode end plate, a cathode plate, a self-supporting transition metal cathode material, an asbestos diaphragm, a self-supporting transition metal anode material, an anode plate, an anode end plate and the like. The reaction device provided by the invention does not need precious metals and proton exchange membranes, so that the device cost is greatly reduced. In addition, due to the dual effects of the self-supporting electrode material serving as a reaction catalyst and a current collector, the energy conversion efficiency of the reaction device is further improved, and the hydrogen production amount per minute can exceed 320 mL and the oxygen production amount per minute can exceed 160 mL. Therefore, under the background of carbon neutralization, the reaction device for producing hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water, provided by the invention, has a very bright commercial application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a reaction device for electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Background technique [0002] Human society is facing a very serious energy crisis: the demand for fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas is increasing day by day, while the global reserves of these fossil fuels are decreasing day by day, so it is particularly important to develop new energy sources. Hydrogen energy (H 2 ), as a renewable new energy, has the advantages of cleanness, renewability, high combustion value, easy transportation and abundant raw materials, and is regarded as the most promising new energy to replace fossil fuels in the future. However, hydrogen does not exist in nature, so there are various hydrogen production processes such as natural gas hydrogen production, methanol cracking hydrogen production, coke oven gas hydrogen production, and electrolytic water hydro...
