Hydrogen evolution reaction in reverse electrodialysis: a mini review
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2024.12.095-108
Abstract
The contact of saltier and fresher water forms a salinity gradient, which is an unconventional source of renewable energy. A promising method of extracting this energy is reverse electrodialysis using hydrogen generation. The conditions required for hydrogen generation by this method can be achieved by a variety of approaches including microbial cell and electrolysis. This paper reviews the works reporting hydrogen generation in the reverse electrodialysis process, reports the competitiveness of this method compared to conventional electrode reactions, and concludes that it is promising to use dimensionless criteria to compare the amount of hydrogen and specific power generated using different approaches.
