Abstract: A technique for electrolysis includes applying a voltage across anode and cathode electrodes bathed in an electrolytic solution disposed within a plurality of hydrogen electrolyzer cells, venting hydrogen gas produced in cathode chambers of the hydrogen electrolyzer cells to a hydrogen exhaust manifold, venting oxygen gas produced in anode chambers of the hydrogen electrolyzer cells to an oxygen exhaust manifold, evaporating a portion of the electrolytic solution within at least one of the cathode or anode chambers, and maintaining the electrolytic solution in the hydrogen electrolyzer cells within a steady-state temperature range during the electrolysis based at least in part on an evaporative cooling of the electrolytic solution within the hydrogen electrolyzer cells.

Abstract: A hydrogen electrolyzer cell includes a shared reservoir, anode and cathode chambers, and a dividing wall. The shared reservoir holds an electrolytic solution. The anode chamber extends up from the shared reservoir and includes an anode electrode for producing oxygen gas during an electrolysis of the electrolytic solution. An oxygen degassing region is integrated into the anode chamber above the anode electrode. The cathode chamber extends up from the shared reservoir and includes a cathode electrode for producing hydrogen gas during the electrolysis. A hydrogen degassing region is integrated into the cathode chamber above the cathode electrode. The dividing wall extends up from the shared reservoir and separates the anode chamber from the cathode chamber. The dividing wall blocks transport of charged ions within the electrolytic solution across the dividing wall and blocks mixing of the hydrogen and oxygen gases released during the electrolysis.
