Title: | Elements with Li-conducting Membrane for Photoelectrochemical Production of Hydrogen |
Type of product: | Release of new product: material |
Description: | Photoelectrochemical element with Li-conducting membrane for hydrogen production contains semiconducting CdSe photoelectrode, which is located in sulfide alkaline solution as the anode electrode space and separated by ion-conducting membrane from Pt electrode, which is located in an acidic solution as the cathode electrode space. |
Technical advantages: | The electrochemical semiconductor element for hydrogen generation is proposed to improve by the way of introducing ceramic Li-conducting membrane. This improvement give the possibility to use electrolytes of anode and cathode spaces with different pH values, which results in more efficient hydrogen generation at the cathode: conversion efficiency of light in hydrogen chemical energy is 1%. |
The economic benefits: | Proposed element belongs to the renewable energy sources that allow the reducing of carbon-containing source of energy. |
The impact on the environment. Environment: | Designed source of electrical energy (photoelectrochemical element) is environmentally friendly. |
The stage of completion: | Report on R & D (OCD) |
