Hydrogen production and toluene hydrogenation were performed with a hydrogen-permeable Pd–Ag membrane as a cathode by using permeated pure hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of aqueous potassium hydroxide. For hydrogen production, the hydrogen flow rate on the permeation side increased with temperature because of the increased hydrogen permeability of the palladium membrane. The increase in pressure applied to the electrolysis side from 0.1 MPa to 0.8 MPa enhanced hydrogen production and hydrogen permeation through the membrane by reducing the effects of bubble formation, and achieved a high hydrogen permeation yield of 93% at 373 K regardless of the amount of hydrogen produced. Hydrogenation of toluene with 5 wt% Pt/Al2O3and with 0.8 MPa of pressure applied to the electrolysis side yielded methylcyclohexane as a product, and the conversion increased to 95% at 393 K with increasing contact time. This electrolysis system is effective for producing pure hydrogen and for hydrogenating aromatics to synthesize chemical hydrides.
