“…So far, conventional platinum-based catalysts have been widely investigated; however, they suffer from disadvantages of prohibitively high cost and poor stability, which are becoming major, limit their widespread use [5][6][7]. Therefore, the search for non-precious-metal as well as metal-free catalysts has become one of the most active and competitive events in the field of HER researches, which of course has led to the findings of promising alternative HER catalysts [8][9][10][11]12].…”

“…However, this noble catalyst is not an ideal choice for the practical large-scale application of MECs due to its high cost and poisoning by chemicals such as sulfide, which is a common constituent of wastewater (Zhang et al 2010). Therefore, non-precious inorganic catalysts such as cobalt and iron cobaltbased compounds (Cheng and Logan 2008), nickel oxides and alloy (Hu et al 2009;Selembo et al 2009aSelembo et al , 2010, tungsten carbide powder (Harnisch et al 2009), and a combination of palladium and platinum (Tartakovsky et al 2008) have been studied to replace Pt for hydrogen production in MECs.…”

Microbial BioEnergy: Hydrogen Production

SummaryBioelectrochemical systems involve the use of exoelectrogenic (i.e., anode-reducing) microbes to produce current in conjunction with the oxidation of reduced compounds. This current can be used directly for power in a microbial fuel cell, but there are alternate uses of this current. One such alternative is the production of hydrogen in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), which accomplishes cathodic proton reduction with a slight applied potential by exploiting the low redox potential produced by exoelectrogens at the anode. As an indirect approach to biohydrogen production, these systems are not subject to the hydrogen yield constraints of fermentative processes and have been proven to work with virtually any biodegradable organic substrate. With continued advancements in reactor design to reduce the system internal resistance, increase the specific surface area for anode biofilm development, and decrease the material costs, MECs may emerge as a viable alternative technology for biohydrogen production. Moreover, these systems can also incorporate other value-added functionalities for applications in waste treatment, desalination, and bioremediation.

Abstract:Water electrolysis for hydrogen production has received increasing attention, especially for accumulating renewable energy. Here, we comprehensively reviewed all water electrolysis research areas through computational analysis, using a citation network to objectively detect emerging technologies and provide interdisciplinary data for forecasting trends. The results show that all research areas increase their publication counts per year, and the following two areas are particularly increasing in terms of number of publications: "microbial electrolysis" and "catalysts in an alkaline water electrolyzer (AWE) and in a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer (PEME).". Other research areas, such as AWE and PEME systems, solid oxide electrolysis, and the whole renewable energy system, have recently received several review papers, although papers that focus on specific technologies and are cited frequently have not been published within the citation network. This indicates that these areas receive attention, but there are no novel technologies that are the center of the citation network. Emerging technologies detected within these research areas are presented in this review. Furthermore, a comparison with fuel cell research is conducted because water electrolysis is the reverse reaction to fuel cells, and similar technologies are employed in both areas. Technologies that are not transferred between fuel cells and water electrolysis are introduced, and future water electrolysis trends are discussed.
