GE continued working on PEM cells and in the mid-1970s developed PEM water
electrolysis technology for undersea life support, leading to the US Navy Oxygen
Generating Plant. The British Royal Navy adopted this technology in early 1980s for
their submarine fleet.
What is PEM Electrolysis
?
In PEM water electrolysis, water is electrochemically split
into hydrogen and oxygen at their respective electrodes
such as hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the
anode. PEM water electrolysis is accrued by pumping of
water to the anode where it is spilt into oxygen (O2),
protons (H+) and electrons (e−). These protons are
traveled via proton conducting membrane to the
cathode side. The electrons exit from the anode through
the external power circuit, which provides the driving
force (cell voltage) for the reaction. At the cathode side
the protons and electrons re-combine to produce the
hydrogen, the following mechanism as shown in Fig.
