In this study, high-performance anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) was developed by investigating various parameters. To improve AEMWE performance, the effects of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication method, operating conditions, and MEA parameters were examined. As a result of the optimization and the use of FAA-3-50 and FAA-3-Br as the AEM and anion exchange ionomer, respectively, AEMWE exhibited high performance. Single cell tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicate that optimized AEMWE minimized the ohmic, charge-transfer, and mass transport resistances. Overall, by examining the AEMWE parameters, we could improve the electrochemical reactions, namely, the oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction, and achieved outstanding performance. |
