Abstract: This paper reviews water electrolysis technologies for hydrogen production and also surveys the state of the art of water electrolysis integration with renewable energies. First, attention is paid to the thermodynamic and electrochemical processes to better understand how electrolysis cells work and how they can be combined to build big electrolysis modules. The electrolysis process and the characteristics, advantages, drawbacks, and challenges of the three main existing electrolysis technologies, namely alkaline, polymer electrolyte membrane, and solid oxide electrolyte, are then discussed. Current manufacturers and the main features of commercially available electrolyzers are extensively reviewed. Finally, the possible configurations allowing the integration of water electrolysis units with renewable energy sources in both autonomous and grid-connected systems are presented and some relevant demonstration projects are commented.

Investigation of Mesoporous Niobium-Doped TiO2 as an Oxygen Evolution Catalyst Support in an SPE Water Electrolyzer
TL;DR: Titania doped by niobium was successfully synthesized via a modified evaporation-induced self-assembly method (EISA) as a support of IrO2 for a solid polymer electrolyte water electrolyzer (SPEWE) as mentioned in this paper.

Hydrogen generator characteristics for storage of renewably-generated energy
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for determining the efficiency of a hydrogen generator taking the power requirements of its auxiliary systems into account was presented, and the results were used for analyses of a Power-to-Gas system cooperating with a 40MW wind farm with a known yearly power distribution.

Experimental study of the performance and emission characteristics of an adapted commercial four-cylinder spark ignition engine running on hydrogen–methane mixtures
P.M. Diéguez,J.C. Urroz,Sara Marcelino-Sádaba,Amaya Perez-Ezcurdia,M. Benito-Amurrio,D. Sáinz,Luis M. Gandía +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental program has been executed by varying the fuel composition, air-to-fuel ratio (λ), spark advance and engine speed, and a discussion of the results regarding the engine performance (brake torque, brake mean effective pressure, thermal efficiency) and emissions (nitrogen oxides, CO and unburned hydrocarbons) is presented.

Nitrogen-plasma treated hafnium oxyhydroxide as an efficient acid-stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions.
Xiaofang Yang,Fang Zhao,Yao Wen Yeh,Rachel S. Selinsky,Zhu Chen,Nan Yao,Christopher George Tully,Yiguang Ju,Bruce E. Koel +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that nitrogen-modified hafnium oxyhydroxide could be a true alternative for platinum as an active and stable electrocatalyst, and furthermore that nitrogen plasma treatment may be useful in activating other non-conductive materials to form new active electrocatalysts.
Modeling an alkaline electrolysis cell through reduced-order and loss-estimate approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, two approaches to the mathematical modeling of an Alkaline Electrolyzer Cell are presented, based on a reduced-order equivalent circuit, resulting in only two fitting parameters (electrodes specific resistance and parasitic losses) and calculation of the internal electric resistance of the electrolyte.

I and i
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
