Abstract

The study examines the behavior of alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) when altering electrodes thickness, spacing, and roughness. In addition, the study examines the effects of heating the electrode using induction heater. Increasing electrodes' thickness improves the AWE efficiency by reducing electrical resistance losses, while it increases A W E cell weight. The study has found that the optimum electrodes spacing for given design is around 5 mm. In addition, increasing electrode roughness from 0.95 μ m um to 1.96 μ m has increased cell efficiency from 54% to 62%. The results showed that induction heating of electrodes has improved AWE cell efficiency by 8% while causing slight increase in the cell temperature.
