    Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of Graphene-Supported Ptru Electrocatalyst for High-Temperature Electrochemical Hydrogen Purification
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Bal, Ilay Bilge; Durmus, Gizem Nur Bulanik; Devrim, Yilser
    The main aim of this study is to investigate the high-temperature electrochemical hydrogen purification (HT-ECHP) performances of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) support material decorated with platinum (Pt) and platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) nanoparticles prepared by microwave irradiation technique. Prepared catalysts coupled to the phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane for HT-ECHP application. The structural and electrochemical properties of the catalysts were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Transition electron microscopy (TEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses. The characterization results indicate that the catalysts provided the necessary properties for HT-ECHP application. The HT-ECHP performances are investigated with reformate gas mixture containing hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the range of 140-180 & DEG;C. The results show that the electrochemical purification performances of the catalysts increase with increasing operating temperature. The highest H2 purification performance is obtained with PtRu/GNP catalyst. The high electrochemical H2 purification performance of the PtRu/GNP catalyst can be attributed to the strong synergistic interactions between Pt and Ru particles decorated on the GNP. These results advocate that the PtRu/GNP catalyst is a hopeful catalyst for HT-ECHP application. & COPY; 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Experimental and Modeling Studies of a High-Temperature Electrochemical Hydrogen Compressor
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Durmus, Gizem Nur Bulanik; Kuzu, Cemil; Devrim, Yilser; Colpan, C. Ozgur
    Some non-technical factors such as economics and logistics prevent hydrogen (H2) tech-nologies from becoming more widespread in daily life. Today, the prevalence of H2 tech-nologies requires new technological developments. Electrochemical hydrogen compressors (ECHC) are of great interest due to their ability to pressurize and purify in one step. In this study, the electrochemical H2 compression performance of high phosphoric acid (PA) doped poly 2,2-m-phenylene-5,5-benzimidazole (PBI) membrane-based HT-ECHC under high temperature and non-humid conditions was investigated through both an experimental and a numerical approach. The H2 compression capacity of HT-ECHC at different operating voltages was examined by performance tests at 160 degrees C, and it was determined that the electrochemical compression performance increased with increasing operating voltage. It was observed that the current density values also increased with increasing voltage, and it was determined that a current density of 61.2 A was obtained at 1 V. As a result of the tests, H2 was successfully compressed from atmospheric pressure to 60 bar by HT-ECHC without any gas leakage. The results of the developed model were compared with the experimental performance test data, and the variation of molar flow, cell voltage, and cell efficiency over time was examined. It has been determined that the back diffusion from the cathode to the anode in the cell increases with the increasing operating voltage of HT-ECHC and therefore the cell efficiency decreases. It has been evaluated that the developed model and experimental results are in good agreement. (c) 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    High-Temperature Electrochemical Hydrogen Separation From Reformate Gases Using Pbi/Mof Composite Membrane
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Durmus, Gizem Nur Bulanik; Eren, Enis Oguzhan; Devrim, Yilser; Colpan, C. Ozgur; Ozkan, Necati
    In this paper, the high-temperature electrochemical Hydrogen (H2) purification perfor-mance of a polybenzimidazole/UIO-66 metal-organic framework (PBI/UIO-66) membrane is investigated and analyzed at different values of current, temperature, and reformate feed composition. Purification measurements show that a significant reduction in gas impu-rities can be obtained. In the performance tests, three different ratios of reformate gas (RG) (H2:carbon dioxide (CO2):carbon monoxide (CO)) as RG-1= (75:25:0), RG-2= (75:22:3), and RG-3= (95:0:5) were used. The highest purification values were observed at 160 & DEG;C as 99.999%, 99.931%, and 99.708% for RG-1, RG-2, and RG-3, respectively. The obtained results show that an electrochemical H2 purification (ECHP) based on PBI/UIO-66 composite membrane is promising for H2 purification.& COPY; 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.

    Performance Analysis of a Gas-To System Based on Protonic-Ceramic Electrochemical Compressor
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Baniasadi, Ehsan; Ghojavand, Fateme; Colpan, Can Ozgur; Devrim, Yilser
    In this study, two scenarios are considered to evaluate the performance of a protonic ceramic electrochemical hydrogen compressor (EHC) and reformer integrated with a pro-ton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). First scenario includes integration of an EHC with PEMFC and in the second scenario, steam methane reforming (SMR) is replaced by an EHC. Results show that the highest energy and exergy efficiencies of the system in the first scenario is achieved when the area-specific resistance (ASR) in EHC is 1.5 Ucm2. An in-crease in the working temperature of EHC causes a considerable rise in the exergy destruction and an increase of energy efficiency by 7% in the first scenario, while the temperature of the reformer affects the exergy destruction, negligibly. The parametric study indicates that the best value of the current density of PEMFC is 0.8481 A/cm2 and 0.8324 A/cm2 and the best current density of PEM-EHC value is 0.4468 A/cm2 and 0.11 A/cm2 in the 1st and 2nd scenarios, respectively. Under the same conditions, energy and exergy efficiencies for the first scenario are 61.63% and 54.9% and for the second scenario are 42.48% and 14.61%, respectively.(c) 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
