AEM water electrolysis is an electrochemical process that uses an anion exchange membrane (AEM) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, offering a balance of cost efficiency and performance that positions it as a promising alternative to traditional electrolysis technologies. Hyto Energy specializes in AEM water electrolysis, advancing its development for diverse hydrogen production applications. In AEM water electrolysis, water is introduced into the electrolyzer, which contains two electrodes (anode and cathode) separated by an anion exchange membrane. When an electric current is applied, water molecules are oxidized at the anode, producing oxygen gas, electrons, and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). The hydroxide ions migrate through the AEM to the cathode, where they participate in a reduction reaction with electrons to form hydrogen gas. This process yields high-purity hydrogen (typically above 99.9%) with minimal impurities, suitable for direct use in fuel cells and industrial processes. A key advantage of AEM water electrolysis is its use of non-precious metal catalysts (e.g., nickel) on the electrodes, significantly reducing material costs compared to PEM electrolysis, which relies on platinum. This cost advantage, combined with the absence of liquid electrolytes (simplifying system design), makes AEM water electrolysis an attractive option for scaling hydrogen production. AEM water electrolysis also offers good efficiency and responsiveness to variable power inputs, making it compatible with renewable energy sources like solar and wind. This allows for efficient production of green hydrogen, even when electricity supply is intermittent, supporting the transition to clean energy. Hyto Energy optimizes AEM water electrolysis systems for durability and scalability, with a focus on improving membrane stability and system integration. As the technology matures, AEM water electrolysis is poised to play a key role in decarbonizing industries, transportation, and power generation.
