Has anyone built a hydrogen cell using nafion?
To build a hydrogen cell with nafion, you will need a piece of nafion membrane, electrodes (such as platinum or carbon), a container, wires, a power source, and a source of hydrogen gas.
A hydrogen cell with nafion works by separating hydrogen ions from electrons using the nafion membrane. The hydrogen ions flow through the membrane and interact with the electrode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
No, it is important to use a specific type of nafion membrane that is designed for use in hydrogen cells. These membranes are typically thinner and have a higher concentration of ion exchange sites, making them more efficient for separating hydrogen ions.
The first step is to cut a piece of nafion membrane to fit your container. Next, place the electrodes on either side of the membrane, making sure they are in contact with the membrane. Then, connect the electrodes to the wires and place the container in a larger container filled with water. Finally, connect the wires to a power source and a source of hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen cells with nafion can be used to power small devices, but they may not be powerful enough to power larger devices. Additionally, the source of hydrogen gas may need to be replenished in order to continue producing electricity.
