The Indian scientists developed a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) to produce hydrogen at a low temperature of 25-60 degrees Celsius through the ECRM process.
Indian Scientists have developed a unique way to produce 99.99% pure hydrogen fuel from methanol-water mixture—which uses only one-third of the electricity required in water electrolysis.
The Indian scientists developed a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) to produce hydrogen at a low temperature of 25-60 degrees Celsius through the ECRM process. The hydrogen thus produced is 99.99% pure and can be directly used in fuel cells to generate power of about 11-13 Kwatt, said a senior officer of the Ministry of Science and Technology here on Thursday.
The core components of the PEM-based ECMR electrolyser stack were fabricated indigenously and integrated with other components in the system. The electrolyser stack was fabricated using exfoliated graphite material as reactant flow field plate, the Ministry said.
