The active area of PEM electrolyser cells influences current draw, hydrogen production and electrical load capacity. The current largest cell area that can be achieved is solely dictated by the current availability of metal sintered parts. There are significant advantages to be had from utilising larger area electrolyser cells including greater hydrogen generation capacity with reduced integration and control requirements making for a more cost-effective solution and a larger electrical load to be packaged in a smaller system. The project will investigate novel sintered titanium structures for use as large (>1000cm2), electrically conductive liquid diffusion layers for incorporation into rapid response, high-performance polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysers used for the production of hydrogen for clean fuels and energy storage. Evaluating the performance of large sinters will inform the design of ITM's next generation high performance electrolyser stacks.

质子交换膜电解槽的有效面积影响着电流的汲取、产氢和电力负荷能力。目前可以达到的最大单元面积完全取决于当前金属烧结件的可用性。使用更大面积的电解槽具有显著的优势，包括更大的制氢能力，以及更少的集成和控制要求，从而实现更具成本效益的解决方案，并将更大的电力负载封装在更小的系统中。该项目将研究新型烧结钛结构，用于大型(&gt；1000cm2)导电液体扩散层，用于快速响应、用于生产用于清洁燃料和储能的氢气的高性能聚合物电解质膜水电解器。评估大型烧结机的性能将为ITM下一代高性能电解槽的设计提供参考。
