AI Technical Summary
In the frequent start-stop test of renewable energy coupled electrolytic water/seawater, there is a reverse phenomenon in the cathode, resulting in increased cathode potential, excessive oxidation and corrosion problems, affecting hydrogen production efficiency and electrode stability.
A multi-layer passivation layer structural material composed of metal oxides and non-metallic anionic salts is used to generate a dense passivation layer through in-situ segregation, which resists excessive oxidation under large anode current and corrosion of the cathode.
Effectively terminate oxidative diffusion under oxidation potential, protect the electrode active sites, extend the service life of the electrode, and improve the stability and efficiency of hydrogen production by electrolytic water/seawater coupled renewable energy.
