Electrolysers

Powering Progress in Electrolysis Research

Our electrolyser is a versatile, high-performance electrochemical cell designed for advanced laboratory testing and R&D applications. With a 50 cm² active area and robust construction using fluorinated flow frames and insulating plates it offers a reliable platform for studying electrolysis reactions in a controlled flow environment. An electrolyser is an electrochemical device that uses electric current to drive a chemical reaction that would not occur spontaneously under standard conditions.

An electrolyser is an electrochemical device that uses electric current to drive a chemical reaction that would not occur spontaneously under standard conditions. In industry, there are many different types of electrolysis processes. One of the most common is hydrogen production via the water-splitting reaction. Other widely used industrial electrolysis processes include chlor-alkali electrolysis, electroplating and electrowinning, and electrofluorination. In addition to these established industrial applications, a wide range of electrolysis processes are being studied by scientists and researchers, such as CO₂ reduction, electrolysis of iron ore, and various electrochemical synthesis methods.

There is also a close connection between electrolysers and vanadium redox flow batteries, as one of the main methods for producing vanadium electrolyte is based on electrolysis. The design of electrolysers can vary significantly depending on the process. Some involve gas evolution at both the anode and cathode, others involve metal deposition at the cathode, and some operate with only an aqueous phase.

However, most electrolysers are essentially electrochemical flow reactors, sharing many similarities with flow battery stacks. Therefore, the experience gained in developing flow batteries can be applied to the development of electrolysers. At Pinflow, we have already developed and tested electrolysers for vanadium electrolyte production, CO₂ reduction, and several electrochemical synthesis processes.
