Superaerophobic Hydrogels for Diaphragm Modification to Suppress Gas Crossover in Alkaline Water Electrolyzers

Key Points

• The primary aim is to explore how modificaion of diaphragms with superaerophobic hydrogels can suppress gas crossover in alkaline water electrolyzers.
• Development of superaerophobic hydrogels for diaphragm application.
• Testing the performance of alkaline water electrolyzers with modified diaphragms.
• Comparison of gas crossover rates before and after diaphragm modification.
• Significant reduction in gas crossover observed with the modified diaphragms.
• Improved efficiency in hydrogen production noted in alkaline water electrolyzers.
• Enhanced performance metrics suggest better operation under standard conditions.
