Electro-osmotic flow and the limiting current in alkaline water electrolysis

Under alkaline conditions, hydroxide ions can deplete at the anode of a water electrolyser for hydrogen production, resulting in a limiting current density. We found experimentally that in a micro-porous separator, an electro-osmotic flow from anode to cathode lowers this limiting current density. U...
