Hidrojen üretim reaksiyonuna (HÜR) manyetik alan etkisinin incelenmesi ve yeni bir elektroliz hücresi tasarimi

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is defined as producing molecular hydrogen, one of the most studied electrochemical reactions. Hydrogen is a potential energy carrier because of nonpolluting the environment. So, it plays an essential role in clean energy. There are different types of hydrogen gas production methods. In this study, the electrolysis method of water was used for hydrogen production due to its advantages such as high purity, efficiency and ease of use. We focused on a technique based on water electrolysis, known as an oxyhydrogen dry cell. The cell depends on strong types of electrolytes, which can be alkaline media and acidic media. Potassium hydroxide is an alkaline type of solution, and it has a higher dissociation rate of hydrogen; thus, it will be selected for our study. In the HER, electrodes are crucial parts where an electrochemical reaction occurs. The shape and material type of the electrode affect the efficiency of generated hydrogen gas. The shape of a square, circular, and rectangular was performed in the literature, yet we used rectangular shapes. There are many different materials for electrodes, such as graphite, platinum, steel, etc., in literature. 304 stainless steel was used in this study because of its high corrosion resistance, high stability and ease to find it. Specific methods can be applied to get more efficient hydrogen production. A magnetic field is one of them which was added to the cell due to no required additional energy that is supplied by a permanent magnet. Magnetism direction will decide Lorentz force and convection of electrolyte. Finally, the strength of magnetic flux density is another important parameter for evaluating efficiency. It was changed and tried for the best efficiency. The magnetic field positively affects hydrogen efficiency. Furthermore, a developed dry cell system is easily applied for industrial applications.
