[Some aspects of water electrolysis with the use of a solid polymer electrolyte]

Electrochemical process in cells with a solid polymer electrolyte is dependent on catalyst durability in harsh environments and catalyst sputtering technology to ensure efficient power consumption. Active polymer electrolytes will permit to reduce substantially non-productive layouts and design a cost-effective, compact and safe system generator of high-purity oxygen and hydrogen. The existing designs of combined oxide systems integrating rear-earth and earth metals with a structure of Ln3+x Me2+1-x CoO3 containing perofskites were shown to be active catalysts in cells with a solid polymer electrolyte, and the sputtering technology was proven to reduce non-productive layouts in 2 or 2.5 times.
