摘要
与传统的碱性水电解槽相比,质子交换膜(PEM)和阴离子交换膜(AEM)水电解槽因其膜电极组件(MEA)设计而表现出更高的效率,并能产生纯度更高的氢气。然而,目前 MEA 设计中的随机结构为电子和质量(离子、气体和液体)带来了巨大的传输阻力,从而降低了电解槽的整体性能。与此相反,有序 MEA 结构的特点是催化剂层 (CL)、多孔传输层 (PTL) 和离子交换膜 (IEM) 中的孔隙、通道或通路排列整齐。这些有序配置为电子和质量的高效传输提供了便利。最近的各种有序 MEA 设计表明,PEM 和 AEM 水电解槽的整体电化学效率有了显著提高。在本综述中,我们将探讨水电解槽有序 MEA 设计的最新进展,重点关注制造方法和界面形态的创新及其电解性能。本综述可为 PEM 和 AEM 电解槽有序 MEA 的设计提供全面指导。
Advancements in ordered membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for water electrolysis
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) and anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolyzers exhibit superior efficiency and produce higher purity hydrogen compared to traditional alkaline water electrolyzers due to their membrane electrode assembly (MEA) design. However, random structures presented in current MEA designs introduce significant transport resistance for electrons and mass (ion, gas and liquid), consequently degrading the overall performance of electrolyzes. In contrast, ordered MEA structures are characterized by well-defined arrangements of pores, channels or pathways within catalyst layers (CLs), porous transport layers (PTLs), and ion exchange membranes (IEMs). These ordered configurations facilitate efficient highways for the transfer of electrons and mass. Recent diverse ordered MEA designs have demonstrated significant improvements in overall electrochemical efficiency in both PEM and AEM water electrolyzers. In this review, we will examine recent advancements in ordered MEA designs for water electrolyzers focusing on innovations in fabrication methods and interface morphologies, as well as their electrolysis performance. This review may provide comprehensive guidelines for designing ordered MEAs for both PEM and AEM electrolyzers.
