The Electrocatalytic Interface Engineering department, led by Prof. Thiele at the Helmholtz-Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN), focuses on different technical interfaces present within electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells and water electrolyzers.
A major advantage of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers is the high purity of hydrogen produced. Depending on the application scenario lower purity is acceptable, which opens alternative operating strategies and concepts for PEM electrolysis systems. In this work, the influence of nitrogen on the purity of the hydrogen produced in a PEM electrolyzer will be examined.
an excellent, international and interdisciplinary working environment with leading experts in the field of electrochemical research. The master thesis contributes to the development of climate-friendly solutions for hydrogen production, exploring novel concepts to accelerate and drive forward the energy transition.
