Application of Catalysts in Membrane Electrode Reactors
Application of Catalysts in Membrane Electrode Reactors Catalysts play a crucial role in membrane electrode systems, primarily in the following areas: Promoting Electrochemical Reactions: Anode Reaction: At the anode of a fuel cell, hydrogen needs to be oxidized to hydrogen ions, releasing electrons. Catalysts can lower the activation energy of the hydrogen oxidation reaction, enabling the reaction to proceed rapidly under lower energy conditions. For example, platinum (Pt) [...]
