摘要

电解海水制氢原料来源广泛，可与海洋新能源有效耦合降低远海电力成本，已成为工业制氢行业的热点。然而，电解海水制氢过程中，Mg

和Ca

等沉积以及氯化物对电解槽的腐蚀阻碍了电解海水制氢技术的规模化应用。因此，改进制氢技术和开发新电极材料，以降低海水中杂质的影响成为了电解海水制氢技术的研发重点。首先，分析了海水主要成分及其对电解海水系统性能和寿命的影响，讨论了不同电解海水制氢技术的优劣势和研究进展，认为电解海水制氢技术尚以海水纯化后制氢为主。然后，总结了电解海水电极材料，包括贵金属材料、过渡金属化合物催化材料和新结构材料，其中过渡金属化合物催化材料具有良好的发展前景。最后，讨论了电解海水制氢技术工业化应用面临的挑战和前景，指出结合高效长寿命过渡金属化合物催化材料研究成果以及海水纯化后制氢技术，是未来一段时期电解海水的发展方向。

Abstract

The seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production has a wide range of raw materials

which can effectively couple with marine new energy to reduce the cost of offshore electricity

and has become a hot topic in the hydrogen production industry. However

the deposition of Mg

and Ca

as well as the corrosion of chlorides on the electrolysis cell

hinder the large-scale application of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production technologies. Therefore

improving hydrogen production technologies and developing new electrode materials to reduce the impact of impurities in seawater have become the focus of res

earch and development for seawater electrolysis hydrogen production. Firstly

the main components of seawater and their impacts on the performance and lifespan of seawater electrolysis systems were analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of different electrolysis seawater hydrogen production technologies were discussed

as well as research progress. It is believed that electrolysis seawater hydrogen production technologies still mainly rely on hydrogen production after seawater purification. Then

the electrode materials for seawater electrolysis were summarized

including precious metal materials

transition metal compound catalytic materials

and new structural materials. Among them

transition metal compound catalytic materials have good development prospects. Finally

the challenges and prospects faced by the industrial application of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production technologies were discussed

and it is pointed out that combining the research results of efficient and long-life transition metal compound catalytic materials

as well as the hydrogen production technologies after seawater purification

will be the development direction of seawater electrolysis in the future.
