Hidenori Yahiro, Yamato Matsunaga, Makiko Asamoto, Tsuyoshi Yamaji

Abstract

Electrolysis of aqueous glycerin using polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) was investigated. Electrolysis of aqueous glycerin was achieved with lower applied cell voltage (0.4 V) than that of water and simultaneously hydrogen was produced from the cathode side. Electrolysis efficiency of aqueous glycerin was increased with an increase in operating temperature.
