Abstract

In the present work, hydrogen production in a membrane-less electrolizer is modeled for KOH, NaCl and NaHCO3 solutions with different concentrations, using Responce Surface Methodology (RSM). It was found that the H2 flux can be explained as a function of the logarithm of the delivered power and the electrolyte concentration, with a fit better that 95% according to the linear regression models proposed from data obtained with a potentio-dynamic experimental desing for each type of electrolyte. In addition, a superior performance of 1M KOH was found, producing 22 cm3 standard per minute (sccm) at 18W.
