Resumen de: WO2026207618A1

An electrolyzer system and associated design and optimization methods are disclosed for producing hydrogen gas from an impure wastewater feedstock. Electrode temperature mapping and analysis of thermoelectric phenomena, including Joule/Thomson effects in homogeneous conductive electrodes such as 316L stainless steel, are used to identify localized oxidation and reduction regions and correlate them with gas bubble nucleation and detachment. These findings, together with electrode material characteristics and operating conditions, are incorporated into computational fluid dynamics modeling of two-phase gas–liquid flow to predict electrode and flow-field configurations that improve bubble removal, reduce overpotential and resistive losses, and enhance heat and mass transfer. In some embodiments, optimized electrodes include microchannel networks configured to direct electrolyte toward preferential reaction sites and promote gas disengagement. The resulting systems can achieve energy consumption and hydrogen production rates using contaminated wastewater comparable to systems operating on purified, demineralized water.
