dc.description.abstract | In proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, oxygen evolution in the anode and flooding due to water cross-over results in two distinct two-phase transport conditions, and these two phenomena were found to strongly affect the performance. A comprehensive understanding of two-phase flow in PEM electrolyzer is required to increase efficiency and aid in material selection and flow field design. In this study, two-phase transport in an electrolyzer cell is visualized by simultaneous neutron radiography and optical imaging. Optical and neutron data were used in a complementary manner to aid in understanding the two-phase flow behavior. The behavior of the gas bubbles was investigated and two different gas bubble evolution and departure mechanisms are found. It was also found that there is a strong non-uniformity in the gas bubble distribution across the active area, due to buoyancy and proximity to the water and purge gas inlet. | |
