“…Disadvantages of the bipolar cells are related to their structural complexity, requirement of electrolyte circulation, and use of gas/electrolyte separators. 36,37 The electrode material selected should have good corrosion resistance, high conductivity, high catalytic effect, and low price. 38 Stainless steel and lead were pointed out as cheap electrode materials, with low overpotentials, but these cannot tolerate highly alkaline environments.…”

“…Volcano plots are used to describe the variation of the exchange currents as a function of the M-H bond strength, having a maximum binding energy for Pt of about 240 kJ mol −1 . 64,65 The H-adsorption energy is a good parameter to identify the most promising materials for the HER. The HER exchange current of Pt in acid media is at least 2 orders of magnitude higher than that in alkaline electrolytes, including KOH.…”

“…In particular, the detailed mechanism of electrocatalysis has been extremely difficult to analyze, mainly because of the complex nature of the geometric and electronic structures of electrodes and solution. 65,118 Therefore, it has been realized that rigorous quantum mechanical (QM) treatment is essential to obtain reliable energetics for electrochemical reactions. QM treatment of the electrochemical interface, based on both computational facilities and theoretical models, [119][120][121] enables a better understanding of the electrolytic processes, where the electrochemical potentials, water environment, and electrodes are all taken into account explicitly.…”

Recebido em 13/12/12; aceito em 28/5/13; publicado na web em 17/7/13Water electrolysis is one of the simplest methods used for hydrogen production. It has the advantage of being able to produce hydrogen using only renewable energy. To expand the use of water electrolysis, it is mandatory to reduce energy consumption, cost, and maintenance of current electrolyzers, and, on the other hand, to increase their efficiency, durability, and safety. In this study, modern technologies for hydrogen production by water electrolysis have been investigated. In this article, the electrochemical fundamentals of alkaline water electrolysis are explained and the main process constraints (e.g., electrical, reaction, and transport) are analyzed. The historical background of water electrolysis is described, different technologies are compared, and main research needs for the development of water electrolysis technologies are discussed.

“…For the specific situation considered in this paper, when the electrolyte to which an electric current is applied is water, the decomposition voltage is 1.23 V at room temperature (reversible voltage), and an overvoltage of approximately 0.4 V must also be applied. This additional voltage depends on the material of the electrodes [13]. The voltage needed for the electrolysis of water therefore starts at around 1.63 V (thermo-neutral voltage [14]).…”

Pulsed electrolysis has become a promising research topic in recent decades due to advances in solid-state semiconductor devices. These technologies have enabled the design and construction of simpler, more efficient, and less costly high-voltage and high-frequency power converters. In this paper, we study high-voltage pulsed electrolysis considering variations in both power converter parameters and cell configuration. Experimental results are obtained for frequency variations ranging from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, voltage changes from 2 V to 500 V, and electrode separations from 0.1 to 2 mm. The results demonstrate that pulsed plasmolysis is a promising method for decomposing water for hydrogen production.
