Aerophilic‐electrode‐based Membrane Free Electrolyzer (AMeFE)

In order to address DoD’s urgent need for decentralized generation of hydrogen peroxide for decontamination on remote sites, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop an aerophilic-electrode-based membrane free electrolyzer (AMeFE) as a light-weight, energy saving, and high efficiency H2O2 generator to support application of vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Unlike the regular electrolysis reactors, AMeFE will boost H2O2 productivity with deliberately design carbon-based catalytic electrodes for 2e- WOR and 2e- ORR simultaneously. With assistance of solid electrolyte, contaminant-free H2O2 solution is supposed to be directly generated in AMeFE without application of any post-treatment (e.g. purification or separation process) on the product. According to the preliminary test result and estimation, the AMeFE device is capable of producing 0.2L 35 wt% H2O2 solution per hour without containing any potential hazards.
