Gas bubble removal from a zero-gap alkaline electrolyser with a pressure swing and why foam electrodes might not be suitable at high current densities

To make green hydrogen more economically attractive, the energy losses in alkaline electrolysis need to be minimized while operating at high current densities (1 A cm⁻²). At these current densities the ohmic resistance and gas bubbles effects contribute largely to the energy losses. To mitigate the gas bubbles losses, we...

Local microbubble concentration by defocused volumetric shadowgraphy with a single camera

The challenge presented in this research is to determine the local volumetric bubble concentration (or void fraction) in the center of a microbubble cloud with limited optical access and without disturbing the flow. By applying defocused volumetric shadowgraphy to an aerated water column we were able to measure the characteristics of single...
