An electrolyzer system and associated design and optimization methods are disclosed for producing hydrogen gas from an impure wastewater feedstock. Electrode temperature mapping and analysis of thermoelectric phenomena, including Joule/Thomson effects in homogeneous conductive electrodes such as 316L stainless steel, are used to identify localized oxidation and reduction regions and correlate them with gas bubble nucleation and detachment. These findings, together with electrode material characteristics and operating conditions, are incorporated into computational fluid dynamics modeling of two-phase gas–liquid flow to predict electrode and flow-field configurations that improve bubble removal, reduce overpotential and resistive losses, and enhance heat and mass transfer. In some embodiments, optimized electrodes include microchannel networks configured to direct electrolyte toward preferential reaction sites and promote gas disengagement. The resulting systems can achieve energy consumption and hydrogen production rates using contaminated wastewater comparable to systems operating on purified, demineralized water.

The development of more cost-effective and efficient proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis cells requires the use of thinner membranes with extended lifetimes and reduced gas crossover. The inventive approach to address these challenges involves the incorporation of radical scavengers to mitigate radical-induced ionomer degradation, along with gas recombination catalysts to promote the conversion of crossover hydrogen and oxygen to water inside the PEM. Each of the two catalyst types has its distinct chemical reaction characteristics, to which the design of the composite membrane is tailored through rational considerations. In various embodiments of the present invention, the positioning effects of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and Pt interlayers in composite membranes for their respective roles in radical scavenging and gas recombination were investigated. Results reveal that placing a radical scavenger interlayer near the cathode notably reduces the ionomer degradation rate, compared to its placement near the anode, evidenced by a 61% ± 7% reduction in fluoride release rate. This is likely due to reactive oxygen species in the cell being predominantly generated at the cathode, which is closer to the radical scavenger interlayer in the former case. The Ce content in cerium-zirconium oxide was further optimized using an ex-situ Fenton test, with Ce0.25Zr0.75O2 demonstrating the highest radical scavenging activity.

An artificial intelligence (AI) electrolysis prediction engine (112) uses the operating conditions to model electrolysis. The AI electrolysis prediction engine (112) models electrolysis using a both first principles model (304) and machine learning models of one or more degradation factors, such as electrolyzer degradation or electro-osmatic drag. The AI electrolysis prediction engine (112) hybridizes the models to generate initial set point scenarios for the electrolysis process. An AI operator assistant receives process characteristics from the operator, which are used to select a set point scenario. An automation control processor (106) then controls electrolysis in accordance with the selected settings. An AI observer engine (114), an AI reasoning engine (116), and an AI error minimization engine (118) perform different aspects of a process to observe the process, determine deviations, and predict further optimization.
