Description
To achieve this objective we will perform three parallel tasks: (1) optimize catalyst growth onto electrodes and LA separator for manufacturing high current density seas, (2) 3D-model- driven design of catalyst-coated mesh electrode and elastic flow element geometry to balance catalyst active area with maintaining high mass transfer and 3D utilization, and (3) develop an in situ catalyst regeneration protocol to maintain an effective degradation rate of =2.1 MV/KHR to enable a 100,000 H lifetime at 2 a CM-2. The objective for budget period 1 is to develop a 15 CM2 single-cell flow-through electrolyzer that can achieve 1.95 V at 2 a CM-2. The objective for budget period 2 is to develop a 100 CM2 single-cell flow-through electrolyzer that can achieve 1.85 V at 2 a CM-2 and demonstrate the capability to RE-deposit catalysts and recover performance after a 50 MV decrease in cell voltage. The objective for budget period 3 is a 100 CM2 single-cell electrolyzer that can achieve 2 a CM-2 at =1.70 V with the capability to regenerate after 50 MV loss of performance from accelerated start/stop cycles and meet an effective degradation rate of =2.1 MV KHR-1 to enable >100,000 H life time. This is also the overall objective for this project.
