Aerophilic-electrode-based Membrane Free Electrolyzer (AMeFE)

In order to address DoD’s urgent need for decentralized generation of hydrogen peroxide for decontamination on remote sites, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop an aerophilic-electrode-based membrane free electrolyzer (AMeFE) as a light-weight, energy saving, and high efficiency H2O2 generator to support application of SEDS. Electrolyte applied in AMeFE will maintain an optimal solution pH (~3) and will be recycle by a low pressure (<1.2 bar) driven membrane filtration process. Unlike the regular electrolysis reactors, AMeFE will boost H2O2 productivity with deliberately design carbon-based catalytic electrodes for 2e- WOR and 2e- ORR simultaneously. According to the preliminary estimation, the AMeFE is capable of producing 0.2L 40 wt% H2O2 solution per hour without containing any potential hazards.
