Optimizing Green Hydrogen Production Through Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

Abstract

The fundamental energy storage technologies can be effectively and progressively solved by proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Currently, there is more fascination with PEM water electrolysis due to the growing demand to produce environmentally friendly hydrogen. A deeper comprehension of the performance and robustness of PEMWE is critical for the research community and engineers due to its low efficiency, instability, and high cost. To advance this technology's commercialization and enable PEM water electrolyzer manufacturers to apply quality control methods for their production lines or on-site process monitoring. This study examines the literature on PEMWE performance in optimizing green hydrogen production techniques. This study also covers the possibility of generating hydrogen using PEMWE, a helpful strategy for lowering greenhouse gas emissions in the hydrogen industry. Ultimately, research and development paths are suggested to advance PEMWE technology and make it a crucial component of future energy scenarios.
