The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The operation of water electrochemical cells in centrifugal fields is demonstrated. Data for water electrolysis in acid, neutral and highly alkaline electrolyte is obtained using linear sweep voltammetry. A cell voltage reduction of up to 700 mV, an anode potential reduction of up to 500 mV, and a cathode potential reduction of up to 350 mV at 3 kA m-2 are achieved at 190 G and 80 °C, compared to those in stationary conditions. The saving in energy are significantly larger than the small amount required to rotate the cells. The relationship between the cell performance, applied `G' value, electrode material, and electrolyte concentration is reported.
