ANion Exchange Membrane Electrolysis from Low-grade water sources

ANEMEL的目标是开发一种阴离子交换膜电解槽，该电解槽使用盐水和废水等低品位水源，利用可再生能源生产绿色氢气。该项目将通过重点使用非关键原材料作为电催化剂和膜来制备选择性和高效的膜电极组件来实现这一目标。该联盟在析氧和析氢电催化剂、膜制备、反应堆工程和反应堆建模方面的专业知识将确保交付能够在低过电位下运行的AEM设备，无需进行主要的水处理，并且电流密度高于1A cm-2。技术工作将与环境和社会经济分析支持的生态设计过程相结合，以指导低影响和循环设计的AEM装置的开发，以最大限度地提高社会经济效益。将研究从实验室规模的单电池到多堆电解槽的技术经济和开发计划，以确保快速实现商业化。

ANEMEL aims at the development of an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer that operates using low-grade water sources such as saline and wastewater, to produce green hydrogen using renewable sources. The project will achieve this objective by focusing on the preparation of selective and efficient membrane electrode assemblies using non-critical raw materials as electrocatalysts and membranes. The expertise of the consortium in oxygen and hydrogen evolving electrocatalysts, membrane preparation, reactor engineering and reactor modelling will ensure the delivery of an AEM device capable to operate at low overpotentials, without major water pre-treatment and at a current density above 1 A cm-2. The technical work will be compemented with an ecodesign process supported by an environmental and socio-economic analysis to guide the development of a low impact and circular designed AEM device maximising socio-economic benefits. A techno-economic and exploitation plan to move from laboratory scale single-cell to a multi-stack electrolyser will be studied to ensure a fast-track to commercialisation.
