Abstract

We investigated the variation of anion exchange membrane of hydrogen generator of alkaline electrolysis. We detected the variation of elements and change of anion exchange membrane using EDS and FE-SEM. We detected two different sites of membrane because of different structure of membrane. $Sp_1$ shows that the distribution ratio of C, O, Al is 98% very higher than $Sp_2$ of 78%. Especially, the main elements of STS316 which is P, S, Fe, Ni were more detected at $Sp_2$ than $Sp_1$. We think that this result depends on the structure of membrane. This also affect the resistance, lifetime of membrane and decrease the efficiency of hydrogen production. We hope that this article is a foundation of developing of hydrogen production technology.
