The electrode mesh produced by Qina HET demonstrates excellent performance, high decay resistance, and superior operational stability.
I. Performance in 2Nm3/h Electrolyzer
Operating Conditions:
Electrode dimensions: ø 160 mm
Electrolyte: 30% KOH (w/w)
Temperature: 80 ± 0.5℃
Electrolyte flow rate: 0.2m3/h
Key Metric:
Current density: ~5,700 A/m2 at 1.8 V
II. BilCat Stability Operation Data
Test Conditions:
Identical to 2Nm3/h electrolyzer operation:
30% KOH(w/w), 80 ± 0.5℃, electrolyte flow rate 0.2m3/h, electrode ø 160 mm.
Constant-Current Operation (45days):
- Current density: 9,000 A/m2
- Polarization curves measured every 7-10 days
Result: Performance decay over 1,000 hours.
Start-Stop Cycling Test (167 days):
- The mesh was subjected to cyclic testing at 9,000 A/m2 over 167 days,
with each cycle consisting of 12 hours operation followed by 12 hours shutdown.
Result: Performance decay 10μV/h over 4,000 hours.
III. Reverse Current Testing
Test Conditions:
30% KOH (w/w), 80℃
Electrode dimensions: 20 x 20 mm
Cyclic Loading Protocol:
The cycle test comprised: +10000 A/m2 for 30 s followed by -5000 A/m2 for 5 min per cycle.
LSV curves were measured every 100 cycles.
Result: Performance decay after 100 cycles.
