В данной статье рассматриваются концептуальное развитие и термодинамический анализ новой комбинированной системы непрерывного типа для получения водорода методом фотоэлектрохимического разложения воды и хлорно-щелочного электролиза. Система способна экономически эффективно вырабатывать водород экологически безопасным способом за счет максимального повышения используемого солнечного спектра и превращения побочных продуктов в товары промышленного назначения. Кроме того, использование элек- тродов в комбинированной установке в качестве доноров электронов при получении водорода фотохимическим способом позволяет минимизировать вероятность выделения вредных веществ. Продуктами комбинированной установки являются водород, диоксид хлора и гидроксид натрия, которые можно использовать в производстве товаров промышленного назначения. Исследование КПД и продуктивности установки проводилось в интервале рабочих температур от 20 °C до 80 °C. Максимальное значение КПД 42 % было достигнуто при температурах между 40 °C и 50 °C.

In this study, we conceptually develop and thermodynamically analyze a new continuous-type hybrid system for hydrogen production which photoelectrochemically splits water and performs chloralkali electrolysis. The system has a potential to produce hydrogen efficiently, at low cost, and in an environmentally benign way by maximizing the utilized solar spectrum and converting the byproducts into useful industrial commodities. Furthermore, by using electrodes as electron donors to drive photochemical hydrogen production, the hybrid system minimizes potential pollutant emissions. The products of the hybrid system are hydrogen, chlorine and sodium hydroxide, all of which are desired industrial commodities. The system production yield and efficiencies are investigated based on an operation temperature range of 20°C-80°C. A maximum energy efficiency of 42% is achieved between the temperatures of 40°C and 50°C.
