30/09/2022

Time: 15:00, Sep. 30, 2022

Venue: Tencent Meeting (ID: 497-744-346)

Lecturer: Xu Lijun

Report Summary:

By focusing on the research related to high-efficiency hydrogen production by water electrolysis with renewable energy, Prof. Xu has formed his team dedicated to the research of grid-connected renewable energy hydrogen production system and hydrogen production mechanism. His report covers the experimental studies on mass transfer, two-phase flow distribution and gas nucleation sites in proton exchange membrane electrolyzers, the steady-state, two-phase and non-isothermal flow channel numerical models developed to satisfy the uniform distribution and exhaust demand of gas and liquid inside the electrolyzer, the established various-component-inclusive mathematical model of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer based on kinetics and electrochemical principles, and the renewable energy hydrogen production system considering multiple factors and multiple time scales.
