New proton ceramic reactor stack for highly efficient hydrogen production and carbon capture in a single step

Green Car Congress

Proton ceramic electrochemical reactors can extract pure hydrogen from gas mixtures by electrolytically pumping protons across the membrane at 800 °C. The ceramic membrane reactor also separates carbon dioxide more efficiently, enabling the greenhouse gas to be easily transported and sequestered. It also has CO 2 as a by-product.
