This paper describes and analyzes a system that tightly couples an electrochemical oxidation cell (EOC) with a protonic-conducting ceramic separation cell (PSC) to produce compressed pure hydrogen from a hydrocarbon feedstock and water. The EOC introduces oxygen through its membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) into the fuel chamber, enabling partial oxidation and reformation of the fuel to produce a hydrogen-rich mixture within the anode microstructure. At the same time, the EOC generates the electric power needed to drive the PSC for hydrogen separation and compression. On the other hand, removing hydrogen from the fuel stream by PSC can thermodynamically promote the catalytic conversion of the fuel stream. The concept leads to a self-contained integrated system, being independent of any external electrical power source, and being capable of producing pressurized hydrogen with potentially high energy-conversion efficiency.

无需外部能源供应即可从碳氢化合物和蒸汽中生产纯压缩氢气的自给式电化学工艺

本文描述并分析了一个系统，该系统将电化学氧化电池 (EOC) 与质子传导陶瓷分离电池 (PSC) 紧密耦合，以从碳氢化合物原料和水中生产压缩纯氢。EOC 通过其膜电极组件 (MEA) 将氧气引入燃料室，使燃料部分氧化和重整，从而在阳极微观结构内产生富氢混合物。同时，EOC 产生驱动 PSC 进行氢气分离和压缩所需的电力。另一方面，通过 PSC 从燃料流中去除氢气可以在热力学上促进燃料流的催化转化。这个概念导致了一个独立的集成系统，独立于任何外部电源，
