At the chemistry department, Thijs de Groot will look at alkaline electrolyzers and Toni Forner-Cuenca at porous electrodes.”</p> <p>“Maike Baltussen from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry and Yali Tang from my own group at Mechanical Engineering will focus on simulating electrolyzers.

Within HyPRO, among other things, we want to work toward a good protocol to test new designs, materials, and components for electrolyzers in a standard way to enable quick statements about the expected long-term performance of a system.”</p> <h3 class="contentHeading"><strong>The perfect membrane</strong></h3> <p>De Groot’s research also looks at the various components that make up the electrolyzer, intending to optimize the system. “For example, we are looking at the membranes that separate the produced hydrogen and oxygen. If such a membrane is too thick, the electrical resistance in the electrolyzer increases.”</p> <p>“As a result, less hydrogen is produced. On the other hand, if it is too thin, it allows hydrogen gas to pass through, which can lead to the formation of an explosive mixture.”</p><blockquote><p><strong><em>The challenge of electrolyzers is that everything is related to everything else.</em></strong><em> <strong>Finding the ultimate optimum is, therefore, difficult.</strong></em></p> <p><em>Thijs de Groot, associate professor of electrochemical process technology</em></p></blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="c396557" class="customTextMedia u-background--white customTextMedia--text u-sectionPadding " tabindex="-1"> <div class="row row--text"> <div class="small-24 columns"> <div class="customTextMedia-content u-contentPosition--text"> <div class="customTextMedia-text u-background-text textLayout--default"> <p> “The challenge of electrolyzers is that everything is related to everything else; finding the ultimate optimum is difficult. So, the first step is to find out which knobs we need to turn in which ways to make the process suitable for large-scale and economically viable production of green hydrogen.”</p> <p>Deen says that is also the goal of the HyPRO research that will be conducted in his group. “In an electrolyzer, hydrogen is created in the form of bubbles. But those bubbles introduce an additional electrical resistance. With simulations, we are going to map how the design and use of the electrolyzer affects this resistance, with the ultimate goal of increasing the efficiency of the process.”</p> <h3 class="contentHeading"><strong>Most promising technology</strong></h3> <p>Though there are several ways to make hydrogen, De Groot thinks alkaline electrolysis has the best papers.</p> <p>“Other technologies rely on rare materials or are significantly more expensive. Therefore, it is quite likely that bulk production will be via alkaline water electrolyzers. I believe in that technology; otherwise, I wouldn’t be working on it. But there is still a lot that can be improved. Green hydrogen is still grossly expensive, which does not help its large-scale implementation.”</p><blockquote><p><strong><em>I believe in electrolysers, otherwise I wouldn't be working on them.</em></strong></p> <p><em>Thijs de Groot, associate professor of electrochemical process technology</em></p></blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="c396558" class="customTextMedia u-background--white customTextMedia--text u-sectionPadding " tabindex="-1"> <div class="row row--text"> <div class="small-24 columns"> <div class="customTextMedia-content u-contentPosition--text"> <div class="customTextMedia-position customTextMedia-position--left customTextMedia-image--horizontal"> <div class="customTextMedia-image customTextMedia-image--regular"> <div class="placeholder placeholder--horizontal"> <svg class="placeholder-logo"> <use xlink:href="#logo"></use> </svg> <picture> <source media="(max-width: 26.25em)" srcset="https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_1c9b368c9e.jpg, https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_ef5fad240e.jpg 1.5x"> <source media="(max-width: 46.875em)" srcset="https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_75c5c41b70.jpg, https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_3caab8c563.jpg 1.5x"> <img srcset="https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_a61a6a4090.jpg 1.5x" class="placeholder-image" src="https://assets.w3.tue.nl/w/fileadmin/_processed_/7/5/csm_BvOF%202020_1123_AAL%20license%20TUe%20-%20EIRES%20-%20Cl2-H2%20Electrolyzer_d117c33371.jpg" width="645" height="430" alt="" /> </picture> </div> <div class="imageDescription"> Cl2-H2 electrolyzer at EIRES.
