Abstract

The SWEL-V electrolyzer employs a nonmetallic, permeable, and porous rock electrode that produces green hydrogen directly from seawater with no corrosion (M. Oraby and A. Shawqi, International Journal of Energy Research [2024] 2024:5576626; M. Oraby, United States Patent, Publication No. 2024/04100062 A1). This paper investigates the performance of a PEM fuel cell operating with hydrogen produced by the SWEL-V electrolyzer with varying hydrogen flowrates. The fuel cell exhibited two distinct voltage plateaus where the locations and durations of these plateaus were strongly influenced by the hydrogen flowrates. An optimization function is developed to maximize and speed up the buildup of the fuel cell voltage through identifying the optimal hydrogen flowrate from the SWEL-V electrolyzer. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing an integrated system combining seawater electrolysis and fuel cell technology.

质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）在海水SWEL-V电解槽变氢率下的性能评估

SWEL-V电解槽采用非金属、渗透性和多孔岩石电极，可直接从海水中产生无腐蚀的绿色氢(M. Oraby和a . Shawqi, International Journal Energy Research [2024] 2024:5576626；M. Oraby，美国专利，出版号：2024/04100062 A1)。本文研究了在不同氢气流量条件下，使用SWEL-V电解槽生产氢气的PEM燃料电池的性能。燃料电池表现出两个不同的电压平台，这些平台的位置和持续时间受到氢流量的强烈影响。通过确定SWEL-V电解槽的最佳氢流量，开发了优化函数，以最大化和加速燃料电池电压的积累。这些发现为优化结合海水电解和燃料电池技术的集成系统提供了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Energy Research (IJER) is dedicated to providing a multidisciplinary, unique platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, technology developers, planners, and policy makers to present their research results and findings in a compelling manner on novel energy systems and applications. IJER covers the entire spectrum of energy from production to conversion, conservation, management, systems, technologies, etc. We encourage papers submissions aiming at better efficiency, cost improvements, more effective resource use, improved design and analysis, reduced environmental impact, and hence leading to better sustainability. IJER is concerned with the development and exploitation of both advanced traditional and new energy sources, systems, technologies and applications. Interdisciplinary subjects in the area of novel energy systems and applications are also encouraged. High-quality research papers are solicited in, but are not limited to, the following areas with innovative and novel contents: -Biofuels and alternatives -Carbon capturing and storage technologies -Clean coal technologies -Energy conversion, conservation and management -Energy storage -Energy systems -Hybrid/combined/integrated energy systems for multi-generation -Hydrogen energy and fuel cells -Hydrogen production technologies -Micro- and nano-energy systems and technologies -Nuclear energy -Renewable energies (e.g. geothermal, solar, wind, hydro, tidal, wave, biomass) -Smart energy system
