[0027] Hydrogen (H2) is a clean energy source with high energy density and zero carbon emissions. Its calorific value reaches 143 kJ / g, making it a crucial energy carrier for achieving a low-carbon energy system and carbon neutrality. Compared to the carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production from fossil fuel reforming, water electrolysis technology can produce "green hydrogen" with zero carbon emissions throughout the entire process. Therefore, it has significant advantages in sustainable energy systems and has received widespread attention in recent years.

[0028] Traditional water electrolysis involves two half-reactions: the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode. HER is a relatively simple two-electron transfer process that can occur at lower potentials; however, OER is a complex four-electron transfer reaction with slow kinetics and high energy barriers. This results in low overall electrolysis efficiency, and the limited added value of the oxygen produced at the anode leads to low energy utilization. Although the theoretical electrolysis voltage is only 1.23V, the operating voltage of actual industrial electrolyzers is typically higher than 1.8V, resulting in hydrogen production energy consumption of 4.5–5 kWh / Nm³, with electricity costs accounting for 50%–80% of the total hydrogen production cost. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of water electrolysis for hydrogen production and improving overall reaction efficiency have become key directions for current technological development.

[0029] In recent years, researchers have proposed replacing the energy-intensive oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with organic oxidation reactions, achieving dual optimization of product value-added and electrolysis energy consumption through anodic electrocatalytic oxidation. Biomass-derived small molecules (such as 2,5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural) possess abundant oxidizable functional groups such as aldehydes and hydroxyl groups, enabling them to be electrocatalytically oxidized at lower potentials to generate high-value-added chemicals (such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, furoic acid, and glucose), thereby significantly reducing the reaction voltage of the electrolyzer. Through this "organic small molecule oxidation-hydrogen evolution coupling" strategy, high-value products can be generated at the anode while high-purity hydrogen is produced at the cathode, constructing an electrochemical cogeneration system that combines energy conversion and resource value-added functions.

[0030] However, in existing technologies, most experimental systems are difficult to achieve continuous production. The anode product and residual electrolyte are difficult to separate efficiently, resulting in low product purity, unstable yields, and a lack of modularly integrated device designs.

[0031] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated co-production system that combines water electrolysis for hydrogen production and biomass organic small molecule oxidation. This system should be able to achieve efficient separation of the anolyte and purification of the product, while ensuring high-purity output of hydrogen from the cathode, so as to realize the dual high-value utilization of energy and materials.

[0032] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems by proposing a novel system for the co-production of hydrogen from water electrolysis coupled with high-value biomass products. Through modular structural design and reaction process optimization, it achieves low-energy consumption, high selectivity, and high efficiency in the synergistic preparation of hydrogen and high-value organic products.

[0033] The electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment 100 coupled with biomass high-value products according to the embodiments of this application is characterized by comprising a liquid supply module, an electrolytic cell 26, a gas treatment module and a liquid treatment module.

[0034] The liquid supply module is used to supply an organic mixture to the electrolytic cell 26. The organic mixture can be a mixture of alkaline liquid and organic liquid.

[0035] Alkaline solutions can enhance the conductivity of organic liquids and increase the reactivity of organic compounds. These organic liquids can be aqueous solutions of 2,5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, glucose, etc. The mixing ratio in the mixing tube can be adjusted by the flow rate ratio of the alkali pump and the organic liquid pump.

[0036] Electrolyzer 26 is connected to the liquid supply module to receive the organic mixture provided by the liquid supply module. Anode electrolyte (organic mixture), electrical energy, and heat energy are input into electrolyzer 26, and hydrogen gas and anolyte are generated after an electrochemical reaction.

[0037] The electrolytic cell 26 has an anode and a cathode. The anode can be electrochemically treated and can be made of nickel-based or copper-based electrode materials. The membrane between the anode and the cathode can be a proton exchange membrane or anion exchange membrane. The electrical operating parameters and temperature parameters of the electrolytic cell 26 are collected by sensors.

[0038] The gas processing module includes a gas-liquid separator 15 and a hydrogen output pipe 12. As the name suggests, the gas-liquid separator 15 can separate a mixture of gas and liquid into gas and liquid. Specifically, the gas-liquid separator 15 of this application can separate the mixture into hydrogen and water (or other liquids).

[0039] The inlet of the gas-liquid separator 15 is connected to the cathode output side of the electrolytic cell 26, and the exhaust port of the gas-liquid separator 15 is connected to the hydrogen output pipe 12. The mixed gas generated at the cathode output side of the electrolytic cell 26 will enter the gas-liquid separator 15. After gas-liquid separation, the hydrogen will be initially purified, and the hydrogen will enter the hydrogen output pipe 12 from the exhaust port of the gas-liquid separator 15.

[0040] The liquid treatment module includes a crystallization vessel 5 and an organic product output pipe 9. The crystallization vessel 5 is connected to the anode output side of the electrolytic cell 26. After the anodic electrochemical reaction in the electrolytic cell 26, the organic mixture becomes the anodic reaction solution. The anodic reaction solution undergoes acid mixing in the crystallization vessel 5. After a strong acid replaces a weak acid reaction, the organic product in the anodic reaction solution crystallizes. The crystallized product is then filtered within the crystallization vessel 5. The organic product output pipe 9 is connected to the crystallization vessel 5 to discharge the crystallized organic product from the crystallization vessel 5.

[0041] According to the embodiment of this application, the electrolytic water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 integrates the liquid supply module, electrolytic cell 26, gas treatment module and liquid treatment module together to achieve continuous production. At the same time, due to the liquid treatment module, efficient separation of anode reaction liquid and product purification can be achieved, while ensuring high-purity output of cathode hydrogen, so as to achieve dual high-value utilization of energy and materials.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this application, the liquid processing module further includes a cooling assembly for cooling the crystallization vessel 5.

[0043] The cooling system can provide a low-temperature environment for the crystallizer 5, so that the organic matter can crystallize after the anode reaction solution is mixed with acid, which can be easily filtered by the filter screen, achieving efficient separation of organic products from residual electrolyte, and ensuring that the organic products have high purity and stable yield.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, the cooling assembly includes a cold source and a heat exchange tube 7. The cold source is connected to the heat exchange tube 7, and the heat exchange tube 7 is arranged around the outer periphery of the crystallization vessel 5 to cool the crystallization vessel 5.

[0045] A cold source provides cooling to the heat exchange tube 7, which is connected to the heat exchange tube 7 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the crystallization vessel 5. This allows the heat exchange tube 7 to cool the crystallization vessel 5 more evenly, ensuring better crystallization of the anolyte reaction solution within the crystallization vessel 5.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the cold source is constructed as a semiconductor cold source 6, the cold end of the semiconductor cold source 6 is connected to the heat exchange tube 7, and the cooling assembly also includes a heat sink 8, which is adapted to exchange heat with the hot end of the semiconductor cold source 6.

[0047] The low-temperature cooling medium located at the cold end of the semiconductor cold source 6 can enter the heat exchange tube 7 and exchange heat with the crystallization vessel 5. After absorbing heat, the cooling medium heats up and enters the hot end of the semiconductor cold source 6. At this location, it exchanges heat with the heat sink 8, thereby the heat sink 8 carries away the heat, causing the high-temperature cooling medium to become a low-temperature cooling medium.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the cooling assembly further includes an insulation shell 4, which has an insulation chamber. A cold source and heat exchange pipe 7 are disposed within the insulation chamber. The insulation shell 4 can reduce the amount of heat exchange between the insulation chamber and the outside environment, keeping the insulation chamber within a lower temperature range. This allows the crystallizing vessel 5 to remain in a relatively stable low-temperature environment, while also reducing the energy consumption of the cold source.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the liquid supply module includes an alkaline liquid input pipe 10, an organic liquid input pipe 14, and a mixing pipe. The inlet of the mixing pipe is connected to the outlet of the alkaline liquid input pipe 10 and the outlet of the organic liquid input pipe 14, and the outlet of the mixing pipe is connected to the electrolytic cell 26.

[0050] The alkaline solution enters the mixing tube from the alkaline solution inlet pipe 10, and the organic liquid enters the mixing tube from the organic liquid inlet pipe 14, so that the alkaline solution and the organic liquid can be mixed in the mixing tube. The mixed organic liquid can then enter the electrolytic cell 26 from the mixing tube.

[0051] Organic liquid can flow in organic liquid inlet pipe 14 under the drive of organic liquid pump 17, and alkaline liquid can flow in alkaline liquid inlet pipe 10 under the drive of alkaline liquid pump 16.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, the outlet of the mixing pipe is connected to the anode input side of the electrolytic cell 26. That is, the electrolytic cell 26 adopts a single-sided anode inlet, and the organic mixture will only enter the anode area of ​​the electrolytic cell 26, thereby avoiding cathode pipe contamination and improving the conversion rate of organic matter at the anode.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the electrolysis water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 also includes a waste liquid output pipe 11, which is connected to the liquid outlet of the gas-liquid separator 15 and the liquid outlet of the crystallization kettle 5, respectively.

[0054] Therefore, the waste liquid separated by the gas-liquid separator 15 can be discharged through the waste liquid outlet pipe 11, and the waste liquid in the crystallizing kettle 5 can be discharged through the waste liquid outlet pipe 11 after crystallization.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, the electrolysis water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 also includes a water supply module, which includes a water supply pipe, and the drain outlet of the water supply pipe can be selectively connected to the electrolyzer 26.

[0056] Therefore, the water electrolysis hydrogen production coupled with biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 of this application embodiment can not only utilize organic mixed liquid to produce hydrogen and high-value products, but also adopt traditional hydrogen production methods, that is, to produce hydrogen and oxygen through water electrolysis. This improves the adaptability of the water electrolysis hydrogen production coupled with biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100, allowing it to select appropriate methods for hydrogen production under different operating conditions.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this application, the electrolysis water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 also includes a shell 3, which encloses a receiving chamber, in which the liquid supply module, electrolytic cell 26, gas treatment module and liquid treatment module are all disposed.

[0058] In other words, the electrolysis water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 of this application embodiment has a high degree of integration and can achieve continuous production while occupying a small space.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the electrolysis water hydrogen production coupled biomass high-value product co-production equipment 100 further includes a strong acid input pipe, the outlet of which is connected to the space inside the crystallization kettle 5.

[0060] The crystallization vessel 5 can be pre-filled with a strong acid. After the anolyte enters the crystallization vessel 5, it reacts with the strong acid, thereby achieving crystallization at a low temperature. Alternatively, strong acid can be introduced into the crystallization vessel 5 through a strong acid inlet pipe, allowing for the injection of strong acid into the crystallization vessel 5 as needed.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, a drying tube 13 is provided between the exhaust port of the gas-liquid separator 15 and the hydrogen output pipe 12. The drying tube 13 is adapted to dry the hydrogen discharged from the gas-liquid separator 15. After the hydrogen undergoes preliminary purification in the gas-liquid separator 15, it can re-enter the drying tube 13 for further purification.
