In the bipolar-type alkaline water electrolysis powered by renewable energy, electrocatalysts are degraded by repeated potential change associated with the generation of reverse current. If an electrode has large discharge capacity, the opposite electrode on the same bipolar plate is degraded by the reverse current. In this study, discharge capacity of various transition metal-based electrocatalysts was investigated to clarify the determining factors of electrocatalysts on the reverse current and durability. The discharge capacities from 1.5 to 0.5 V vs. RHE (Qdc,0.5) of electrocatalysts are proportional to the surface area in most cases. The proportionality coefficient, corresponding... |
