In another key focus area, led by CEA-Irig and supported by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and EPFL, researchers are working on system integration to design a 500 cm² photocatalytic reactor capable of operating autonomously for 500 hours. Using advanced multi-physical modelling and innovative reactor designs, this work addresses efficiency challenges and establishes a foundation for scalable hydrogen production. This focus area plays a critical role in demonstrating the potential of green hydrogen technology on a larger scale. 📬 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗛𝟮𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗡?

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 One of the key challenges in photocatalytic water splitting is the separation of the two products, hydrogen and oxygen. (Photo)electrochemical systems can use a membrane to separate the (photo)anode and (photo)cathode to have each gas evolve in separate compartments, however, this isn’t possible in a typical photocatalyst sheet system due to the integrated nature of the design. This adds cost for the gas separation process and also raises safety issues as mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen have the potential to be explosive. In PH2OTOGEN we tackle this by promoting an alternative oxidation reaction to form 1,3 dihydroxyacetone from glycerol, in parallel with hydrogen production. The safe resulting product mixture can be easily separated as one is an oil and the other a gas. 👉 Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more about how PH2OTOGEN technology is addressing the challenges of hashta #hydrogenproduction.
