They are also vitally important for future long-term space travel for oxygen, fuel and chemical production, where a re-supply of resources from Earth is not possible. Here, we provide an overview of currently existing electrolytic energy conversion technologies for space applications such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) and alkaline electrolyzer systems. We discuss the governing interfacial processes in these devices influenced by reduced gravitation and provide an outlook on future applications of electrolysis systems in, e.g., in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies. A perspective of computational modelling to predict the impact of the reduced gravitational environment on governing electrochemical processes is also discussed and experimental suggestions to better understand efficiency-impacting processes such as gas bubble formation and detachment in reduced gravitational environments are outlined.}, language = {en} } @misc{ReimannKohlenbachRoentzsch, author = {Reimann, Ansgar and Kohlenbach, Paul and R{\"o}ntzsch, Lars}, title = {Development of a novel quasi-2D PEM Electrolyzer Model in Modelica}, series = {Proceedings of the 15th International Modelica Conference 2023, Aachen, October 9-11}, journal = {Proceedings of the 15th International Modelica Conference 2023, Aachen, October 9-11}, publisher = {Link{\"o}ping University Electronic Press}, issn = {1650-3686}, doi = {10.3384/ecp20463}, pages = {9}, abstract = {To increase the efficiency of PEM electrolysis, simulation models are required that accurately describe the system's electrochemical and thermal behavior in a computationally efficient manner and are thus suitable for developing control strategies. Therefore, a pseudo-2D PEM electrolyzer model is presented in this paper, which is a compromise between the previously developed models regarding their model complexity. The electrochemical behavior is described with equations commonly used in the literature and the thermal behavior with correlations for gas-liquid heat transfer. Preliminary validation indicates that the model can describe the electrochemical behavior and thermal dynamics of a PEM electrolysis stack with good accuracy.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SampangiRoentzsch, author = {Sampangi, Shiva Kumar and R{\"o}ntzsch, Lars}, title = {Electrolysis - Proton-exchange membrane electrolyzer | Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis: State-of-the-art technique and systems}, series = {Reference Module in Chemistry, Molecular Sciences and Chemical Engineering}, booktitle = {Reference Module in Chemistry, Molecular Sciences and Chemical Engineering}, editor = {Reedijk, Jan}, publisher = {Elsevier}, isbn = {978-0-12-409547-2}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-323-96022-9.00237-1}, language = {en} }
