H2 permeation through N117 and its consumption by IrOx in PEM water electrolyzers

It is considered that the oxidation activity of Ir based anodes on H2 permeating the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) in PEM water electrolyzers (WE) is poor, resulting in high H2-in-O2 contents at idle or dynamic operating conditions, especially with asymmetric pressure. In the present work, the...
