Hydrogen Electrochemical Production

By Christophe Coutanceau, Steve Baranton, Thomas Audichon

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Primers is a series of concise books that present those coming into this exciting, broad and multidisciplinary field the most recent advances in each of its particular topics. Its volumes bring together information that has thus far been scattered in many different sources under one single title, which makes them a useful reference for industry professionals, researchers and graduate students, especially those starting in a new topic of research. This volume, Hydrogen Electrochemical Production, presents the differing possibilities of hydrogen production for energy applications, its current developments and future perspectives through high level scientific data and an interdisciplinary approach. It examines various methods and explains in detail their advantages and limitations. Hydrogen electrochemical reactions and systems are explored from different points of view, including an assessment of state-of-the-art technologies. Further, alternatives to water electrolysis for electrochemical hydrogen synthesis (due to the low kinetics of water oxidation at the anode and hence high energy consumption), such as conventional alcohols, bio-sourced alcohols and other compounds from biomass are discussed.
