Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrocatalytic decomposition of atmospheric water, and in particular relates to an atmospheric water collection coupled with electrolytic water hydrogen production system. Background Art

[0002] As the demand for water resources increases, traditional water resource development faces severe challenges, and making full use of water resources in the atmosphere has become a research hotspot. The atmosphere contains 130 trillion liters of water. Adsorption-based atmospheric water harvesting technology is not restricted by geographical location and is a key technology to solve water shortages. However, the way to couple atmospheric water harvesting technology with energy conversion remains to be explored.

[0003] Hydrogen energy is the most promising clean energy among many renewable energy technologies. It has the advantages of high energy density, cleanliness and no pollution. Water electrolysis to produce hydrogen is an ideal energy conversion method, which decomposes water to produce hydrogen in a zero-carbon emission process. However, in traditional water electrolysis hydrogen production systems, liquid water will be consumed while releasing hydrogen, and liquid water needs to be replenished regularly. At the same time, the differences in the distribution of water resources limit the development of water electrolysis. Seawater resources are abundant but the cost of electrolysis is high. The water molecules captured by atmospheric water collection are used as reactants and converted into hydrogen in the atmospheric water decomposition system, while achieving rapid water collection and efficient water decomposition to produce hydrogen.

[0004] At present, the atmospheric water splitting system is composed of hygroscopic materials and water splitting modules. The hygroscopic materials are mainly metal hydrogels and liquid hygroscopic substances. The hydrogel has limited adsorption capacity for water vapor, and the adsorption efficiency drops significantly after reaching saturation. The liquid absorbent has a strong water vapor absorption capacity, but most of them are corrosive. The water splitting module is mainly photocatalytic and electrocatalytic. Among them, electrocatalytic energy conversion efficiency is higher, but the research is concentrated in the acidic system, which is easy to corrode the electrode material and the reaction device. There are few studies on atmospheric water collection coupled with water electrolysis in alkaline systems. Summary of the invention
