摘要： A hydrogen mixed gas generation method using a device that includes a heating pipe housing therein a reduction acceleration member and a heating part including a heating device that heats the heating pipe includes a first process and a second process. The first process includes: causing raw water to flow into the heating pipe and heating the flowing raw water to generate water vapor; heating the generated water vapor to between 500° C. to 800° C.; causing the heated water vapor to be in contact with the reduction acceleration member that is heated along with the raw water to reduce the water vapor and generate hydrogen gas. The second process includes: diluting the hydrogen gas generated in the first process to obtain hydrogen mixed gas whose concentration of hydrogen gas is between 500 ppm to 20000 ppm.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for transient operation of a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack having a cathode side and an anode side, the method comprising: supplying a flush gas comprising CO2 to said anode side; and applying a small electrolysis current of 0.001-0.05 A/cm2 active cell area, such as 0.01-0.05 A/cm2 active cell area, to the cells in the SOEC stack, for thereby generating oxygen in the anode side or for transporting to the anode side any oxygen already available in the cathode side. The method comprises also operating the SOEC stack during shut-down with a flush gas comprising CO2 on the anode side, and recycling anode product gas comprising oxygen being generated under prior normal operation of the SOEC stack, with no small current being applied. By the invention it is possible to generate small amounts of O2 to safeguard the pO2 and stability of the oxy-electrode in the anode side. The invention provides protection of not only the oxy-electrode, but also the fuel electrode in the cathode side.

摘要： An electrosynthesis system is equipped with an electrolysis device that carries out electrolysis on carbon dioxide gas and water vapor, a synthesizing device that synthesizes a hydrocarbon gas from hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas that are generated by the electrolysis, and a control device. The control device adjusts a flow rate of the water vapor supplied to the electrolysis device, in a manner so that a first concentration ratio, which is a concentration ratio between the hydrogen gas and the carbon monoxide gas in a mixed gas discharged from the electrolysis device and containing the hydrogen gas and the carbon monoxide gas, becomes a predetermined target concentration ratio.

摘要： Production of fuels from low carbon electricity and from carbon dioxide by the use of a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) and Fischer-Tropsch is shown. Fischer-Tropsch is an exothermic reaction that can be used to produce steam. Steam produced from the Liquid Fuel Production (LFP) reactor system, where the Fischer-Tropsch reaction occurs, is used as feed to the SOEC. The higher temperature steam improves the efficiency of the overall electrolysis system. The integration of the LFP steam improves the efficiency of the electrolysis because the heat of vaporization for the liquid water does not have to be supplied by the electrolyzer.

摘要： A reactor block to extract hydrogen from water includes a plurality of reactor plates bonded to one another and a plurality of channels formed on at least one side of each reactor plate. Each channel is coupled to a first opening and a second opening disposed on opposite first and second edges of the reactor plate, and a radioactive coating is applied to each channel. The first opening is configured to receive gasified water and the second opening is configured to eject hydrogen generated by radiolysis of at least a portion of the gasified water as the gasified water is passed through the channel coupled to the second opening.
