Improving the Efficiency of PEM Electrolyzers through Membrane-Specific Pressure Optimization

Improving the Efficiency of PEM Electrolyzers through Membrane-Specific Pressure Optimization

Hydrogen produced in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer must be stored under high pressure. It is discussed whether the gas should be compressed in subsequent gas compressors or by the electrolyzer. While gas compressor stages can be reduced in the case of electrochemical compression,...
