CapMemLysis

The aim of this project is to research and develop capillary AEM water electrolysis for green hydrogen. The physical foundations for understanding ion and mass transport will be laid and a scalable concept for components and cells will be developed. This new technology is intended to combine the advantages of capillary electrolysis according to Wallace et al. with the innovative anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis technology. In a Nature paper from 2022, efficiencies of 98 % were already achieved at a current density of 0.5 A/cm2.
