Improving the efficiency of hydrogen gas production in the water electrolysis process draws great attention from many scholars. To improve the efficiency of the process and reduction in the cost, stainless steel has been widely implemented in the industrial water electrolysis process. Electrolyte modification is also one of the methods to improve the water electrolysis process. The study used Dioscorea opposita tuber flour as a media addition in an alkaline solution. The efficiency of water electrolysis was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. The result showed that the activity of the electrode and energy consumption were increased with values of 29 and 23%, respectively, by adding 3 g of the media. However, no media addition showed the lowest energy consumption regarding overpotential value. In general, the Dioscorea opposita tuber flour tends to cover the electrode and reduce the activity. Moreover, the utilization of wastewater from Dioscorea opposita flour industry is still beneficial to produce hydrogen gas instead of using freshwater.

Hydrogen gas production with an electrochemical method requires more energy. This research aimed to determine the efficiency of the electrolysis process in product and energy consumptions using stainless steel as a working electrode and various concentration of the fermented flour as the media. The fermented flour was prepared by fermentation of Manihot utilissima with Monascus sp. and characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The stainless steel was characterized by voltammetry, SEM-EDX, XRD and gas sorption analyzer. The results showed that stainless steel activity was decreased in the fermented flour because the surface of stainless steel was being covered. Moreover, addition of 0-2 g/L water fermented flour had relatively similar stainless steel activity. The cathodic current peaks were at -4.86 × 10-4 and -4.87 × 10-4 mA, respectively, for 0 and 2 g/L media. The processes had consumed the same energy with -0.0996 V of cathodic peak potential.

The challenges to be overtaken with alkaline water electrolysis are the reduction of energy consumption, the maintenance, and the cost as well as the increase of durability, reliability, and safety. Having these challenges in mind, this work focused on the reduction of the electrical resistance of the electrolyte which directly affects energy consumption. According to the definition of electrical resistance of an object, the reduction of the space between electrodes could lower the electrical resistance but, in this process, the formation of bubbles could modify this affirmation. In this work, the performance analyses of nine different spaces between stainless steel 316L electrodes were carried out, although the spaces proposed are not the same as those from the positive electrode (anode) to the separator and from the separator to the negative electrode (cathode). The reason why this is studied is that stoichiometry of the reaction states that two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen can be obtained per every two moles of water. The proposed spaces were 10.65, 9.20, 8.25, 7.25, 6.30, 6.05, 4.35, 4.15, and 3.40 millimetres. From the nine different analysed distances between electrodes, it can be said that the best performance was reached by one of the smallest distances proposed, 4.15 mm. When the same distance between electrodes was compared (the same and different distance between electrodes and separator), the one that had almost twice the distance (negative compartment) presented an increase in current density of approximately 33% with respect to that where both distances (from electrodes to separator) are the same. That indicates that the stichometry of the electrolysis reaction influenced the performance.

The cyclic voltammogram is widely used to analyse the electrolysis process. The use of various media, namely rambutan seed flour (Nephelium lappaceum), mango seed flour (Mangifera indica), breadfruit leaf powder (Artocarpus altilis), peria extract (Momordi charantia) and aloe vera extract (Aloe vera), in this study is to deliberately mimic the occurrence of those media in wastewater produced by several industries. The electrolysis analysis on the presence of several media would minimize the preparation steps on wastewater utilization for generating hydrogen as renewable energy. The research looks at the potential of wastewater as the raw material for the electrolysis process. In this research, stainless steel cyclic voltammograms were studied on water electrolysis. The electrolysis was done in base solution and adding various media, such as rambutan seed flour (Nephelium lappaceum), mango seed flour (Mangifera indica), breadfruit leaf powder (Artocarpus altilis), peria extract (Momordi charantia) and aloe vera extract (Aloe vera) in various concentrations, 0 - 10 g per litter of water. By reviewing the activity of a stainless steel electrode to decompose water molecules, the media generally caused the occurrence of covering by relatively large molecules around the electrode surface, resulting in decreased activity of the stainless steel electrodes. The optimum condition occurred with the addition of breadfruit leaf powder in all treatments with similar electrode activity as much as 1.68. The result could be implemented in a wastewater electrolysis processes containing the media to generate hydrogen gas. ABSTRAK: Voltammogram berkitar banyak digunakan bagi menganalisis proses elektrolisis. Dalam kajian ini pelbagai jenis media telah sengaja digunakan seperti tepung biji rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), tepung biji mangga (Mangifera indica), serbuk daun sukun (Artocarpus altilis), ekstrak peria (Momordi charantia) dan ekstrak lidah buaya (Aloe vera), bagi memimik terjadinya media-media tersebut dalam sisa air buangan yang terhasil daripada beberapa industri. Analisis elektrolisis pada pelbagai media dapat mengurangkan langkah-langkah persiapan pada penggunaan sisa air bagi menghasilkan hidrogen sebagai tenaga boleh baharu. Penilitian kajian ini bertumpu pada potensi sisa air sebagai bahan kasar bagi proses elektrolisis. Kajian ini adalah tentang elektrolisis air voltammogram berkitar pada keluli tahan karat. Proses elektrolisis telah dilakukan pada larutan dasar dan dengan menambah pelbagai media, seperti tepung biji rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), tepung biji mangga (Mangifera indica), serbuk daun sukun (Artocarpus altilis), ekstrak petola (Momordi charantia) dan ekstrak lidah buaya (Aloe vera) dalam pelbagai kepekatan, 0 - 10 gram pada setiap liter air. Penurunan aktiviti elektrod keluli tahan karat telah disebabkan oleh aktiviti elektrod keluli tahan karat yang mengurai molekul air dan diliputi molekul-molekul besar pada permukaan elektrod. Keadaan optimum telah berlaku dengan penambahan serbuk daun sukun pada semua rawatan dengan aktiviti elektrod serupa sebanyak 1.68. Dapatan kajian dapat digunakan dalam proses elektrolisis sisa air yang mengandungi media bagi menghasilkan gas hidrogen.

In this research, an alkaline water electrolysis process is modelled. The electrochemical electrolysis is carried out in an electrolyzer composed of 12 series-connected steel cells with a solution 30% wt of potassium hydroxide. The electrolysis process model was developed using a nonlinear identification technique based on the Hammerstein structure. This structure consists of a nonlinear static block and a linear dynamic block. In this work, the nonlinear static function is modelled by a polynomial approximation equation, and the linear dynamic is modelled using the ARX structure. To control the current feed to the electrolyzer an unconstraint predictive controller was implemented, once the unconstrained MPC was simulated, some restrictions are proposed to design a constrained MPC (CMPC). The CMPC aim is to reduce the electrolyzer's energy consumption (power supply current). Simulation results showed the advantages of using the CMPC since the energy (current) overshoots are avoided.
