ENHANCING HYDROGEN GENERATION FROM WATER ELECTROLYSIS BY COLLECTING CONFIGURATION AND METALLIC

Hydrogen is a significant energy carrier that is utilised as a refrigerant and an essential gas in many industrial operations, including superconductor research, ultra-cold condition research, hydrogen-electric car research, energy generation, the space industry, and the power sector. When compared to charging a big capacity battery, hydrogen gas has been identified as a better way to store solar energy. Our goal was to find the best circumstances for increasing the rate of hydrogen production from water electrolysis. Temperature, electrolyte pH, electrode material, electrode distance, electrolyte concentration, and the vertical distance between the electrode and the gas collection beakers were all examined to determine hydrogen generation rates. Lower pH solutions, higher temperature electrolytes, tighter spacing between the anode and cathode, and positioning the electrodes outside of the beaker all resulted in increased hydrogen production. The placement of electrodes vertically away from the gas collecting beakers resulted in a 90 percent increase in gas production. In comparison to the traditional stiff metal electrode, metallic textiles showed promising outcomes. The metallic cloth electrodes lasted for a long time without eroding and produced more hydrogen at first. Because of their high conductivity, low cost, durability, and large surface area, conductive fabrics looked very promise.
