The electrochemical properties of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) stack electrolyzer (9 cells of 100 cm(2) geometrical area) were investigated at different temperatures. An amount of H-2 of similar to 2701h(-1) was produced at 60 A (600 mA cm(-2)) and 70 degrees C under 876 W of applied electrical power. The corresponding specific energy consumed in the process was 3.24 Wh.1(-1)H(2). The Faradic and electrical efficiencies were determined. Overall stack efficiencies of 73% and 85%, at 60 A and 70 degrees C, with respect to the low and high heating value of hydrogen, respectively, were obtained. These results confirmed the successful scale-up of a previous lab-scale device. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
