Energy can neither be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another – Albert Einstein

How do we store electricity? Through Chemistry Fossil Fuels Batteries Hydrogen

Why is Hydrogen such a big deal? Energy Density (Mega Joules per kilogram) Li-ion Battery0.54 Gasoline46.9 Hydrogen120.0 ~ 220 times more energy than batteries ~ 2.6 times more energy than gasoline NO AVAILABLE SOURCE OF HYDROGEN

Electrolysis of Water Electrolysis: Using electricity to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction H 2 and O 2

What do we need? Water Electrolyte (PEM, salt water, citric acid) Metal electrodes (Anode +, Cathode -) Electricity

Chemical what Happens Anode (positive): Cathode (negative): OVERALL: 2H 2 O O 2 +4H + +4e - 4H + +4e - 2H 2 2H 2 O O 2 +2H 2

What is a PEM PEM – Proton Exchange Membrane Used as fuel cells to produce electricity Must use deionized water Can be run backwards as an electrolyzer

Proton Exchange Membrane

DEMO 4H + +4e - 2H 2 2H 2 O O 2 +4H + +4e -

How do we use the Hydrogen? Fuel Cells (electrolyzer in reverse) Run on H 2 and O 2 to form clean water. Water can then be recycled to electrolyzer.

What are we going to do? Setup PEM electrolyzer(s). Produce efficiency curves of PEM using simple circuitry. Determine Hydrogen Generation Rate vs. Power input. Build our own electrolyzer powered by our Solar Cells
