Disclosed herein are methods and systems that relate to electrochemically producing hydrogen gas by maintaining a steady-state pH differential of greater than 1 between an anode electrolyte and a cathode electrolyte in a hydrogen-gas generating electrochemical cell.

Systems and methods to make hydrogen gas with a steady state pH differential

Disclosed herein are methods and systems that relate to electrochemically producing hydrogen gas by maintaining a steady-state pH differential of greater thanbetween an anode electrolyte and a cathode electrolyte in a hydrogen-gas generating electrochemical cell.

Systems and methods to make hydrogen gas with a steady-state pH differential

Disclosed herein are methods and systems that relate to oxidizing a metal ion of a metal oxyanion or a non-metal ion of a non-metal oxyanion from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state at an anode and generate hydrogen gas at the cathode. The metal oxyanion with the metal ion in the higher oxidation state or the non-metal oxyanion with the non-metal ion in the higher oxidation state may be then subjected to a thermal reaction or a second electrochemical reaction, to form oxygen gas as well as to regenerate the metal oxyanion with the metal ion in the lower oxidation state or the non-metal oxyanion with the non-metal ion in the lower oxidation state, respectively.

Systems and methods to make hydrogen gas using metal oxyanions or non-metal oxyanions

Disclosed herein are methods and systems that relate to electrochemically oxidizing metal halide with a metal ion in a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state; halogenating an unsaturated hydrocarbon or a saturated hydrocarbon with the metal halide with the metal ion in the higher oxidation state; and oxyhalogenating the metal halide with the metal ion from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state in presence of an oxidant. In some embodiments, the oxyhalogenation is in series with the electrochemical oxidation, the electrochemical oxidation is in series with the oxyhalogenation, the oxyhalogenation is parallel to the electrochemical oxidation, and/or the oxyhalogenation is simultaneous with the halogenation.
