A modular hydrogen generation system (“system”) comprises a high-pressure containment vessel (“vessel”) defining a hydrogen plenum. The system also comprises a hydrogen generation insert (“insert”) shaped to be received in the hydrogen plenum. The insert includes a cover, one or more proton-exchange membrane (“PEM”) cells, an oxygen-water separator; and a passive dual regulator with relative differential venting (“regulator”). The insert is inserted into the hydrogen plenum such that hydrogen and oxygen can be produced at an interior pressure of from 200 to 6,000 psi. The regulator receives oxygen from the oxygen-water separator and hydrogen from the hydrogen plenum and regulates pressure imbalances between an oxygen-side of the system, vents oxygen to an exterior of the high-pressure containment vessel, and vents hydrogen to an exterior of the vessel to allow collection of hydrogen and oxygen and avoid rupture of the one or more PEM cells during operation.

The invention relates to the coating of anion exchange membranes (AEM) with catalytically active substances. The CCM thus obtained are used in electrochemical cells, especially for alkaline water electrolysis. It was an object of the invention to specify a process for producing a CCM by direct coating which maintains the necessary planarity of the AEM and ideally avoids the use of lost films and eschews CMR substances. Swelling shall also be minimized. The process shall also be performable with fluorine-free ionomers. The invention is based on the finding that the addition of certain organic substances has the result that the AEM swells only to a small extent, if at all (antiswelling agent). It has surprisingly been found that substances suitable as antiswelling agents are identifiable by their solubility behaviour, more particularly by their Hansen parameters.
