Spring 2023 ECS Symposium on Low Temperature Water Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production
Abstract
The Spring 2023 Low Temperature Water Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Symposium takes place at the 243rd Meeting of The Electrochemical Society (ECS) from May 28 - June 2, 2023 in Boston, MA (US). Low-cost hydrogen from renewable energy is now seen as a viable clean alternative fuel for use in applications including mobility, backup power, and grid energy storage, as well as a feedstock for fertilizer, steel, cement, and petrochemical upgrading. In a longer term, the large-scale production of hydrogen from water electrolysis is needed for global CO2 reductions toward net-zero emissions. This symposium on low temperature water electrolysis for H2 production is a new, broad symposium envisioned to bring together the electrochemical community to focus on the technical solutions across the range of technologies including, but not limited to: polymer electrolyte (acidic) electrolysis; liquid alkaline electrolysis; alkaline membrane electrolysis; membraneless or bipolar membrane electrolysis; decoupled electrodes; and supporting technologies such as electrochemical hydrogen compression, hydrogen storage, and unitized reversible fuel cells.Monday morning brings together invited plenary speakers on key advances in low temperature water electrolysis. Monday afternoon is reserved for a joint plenary session with other symposia on all types of hydrogen generation including high temperature water electrolysis and photoelectrochemical cells. The remainder of the symposium comprises parallel sessions covering research topics including new electrocatalysts, membranes, porous transport layer (PTLs), MEA design, stack engineering, and modeling and diagnostic tools which affect the performance, efficiency, cost, and durability of electrolysis systems when integrated with renewable energy sources. This symposium s proceedings will be published in ECS Transactions, the official conference proceedings publication of The Electrochemical Society, and available atthe meeting.
