Green Hydrogen Generation Through Novel Electrolysers Towards Low Carbon Economy: An Opiniated Perspective

A considerable amount of decarbonization is being driven by multinational corporations and technology companies all over the world as a result of the necessity to reduce and control the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) to lower the global carbon footprint. A perspective of the outlook of green hydrogen generation is held through the utilization of AEMs, wind, and PEMECs to establish energy transitional approaches. Anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysers overcome the worst problems of conventional types of electrolysers because of their ability to use non-platinum and non-nafion membrane materials, high hydrogen storage density, and compact microcells recommended for large-scale low-carbon systems. Another technique for ultraclean hydrogen production via oxidation is ethanol electrocatalysis in PEMECs. In this study, hydrogen production via water electrolysis with the help of anion-conducting solid polymer electrolytes and a novel integrated inorganic membrane electrode assembly (I2 MEA) for anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis by using inorganic Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (Mg-Al LDHs) as an ionic conductor were also theoretically and economically investigated and opinionated to produce low-carbon hydrogen.
