摘要
Electrolysisofammoniainalkalineelectrolytesolutionwasappliedfortheproductionofhydrogen.BothPt-loadedNifoamandPt-IrloadedNifoamelectrodeswerepreparedbyelectrodepositionandservedasanodeandcathodeinammoniaelectrolyticcell,respectively.TheelectrochemicalbehaviorsofammoniainKOHsolutionwereindividuallyinvestigatedviacyclicvoltammetryonthreeelectrodes,i.e.bareNifoamelectrode,Pt-loadedNifoamelectrodeandPt-IrloadedNifoamelectrode.ThemorphologyandcompositionofthepreparedNifoamelectrodewereanalyzedbyscanningelectronmicroscopy(SEM)andX-raydiffraction(XRD).Effectsoftheconcentrationofelectrolytesolutionandtemperatureofelectrolyticcellontheelectrolysisreactionwereexaminedinordertoenhancetheefficiencyofammoniaelectrolysis.Thecompetitionofammoniaelectrolysisandwaterelectrolysisinthesamealkalinesolutionwasfirstlyproposedtoexplainthechangesofcellvoltagewiththeelectrolysisproceeding.Atvaryingcurrentdensities,differentcellvoltagescouldbeobtainedfromgalvanostaticcurves.Thelowcellvoltageof0.58V,whichislessthanthepracticalelectrolysisvoltageofwater(1.6V),canbeobtainedatacurrentdensityof2.5mA/cm2.Basedonsomeexperimentalparameters,suchastheappliedcurrent,theresultingcellvoltageandoutputofhydrogengas,thepowerconsumptionpergramofH2producedcanbeestimated.
