Abstract
In comparison to alternative water electrolysis technologies, polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) has several advantages, such as high-voltage efficiency, pure gas production, short response time, and the capability to operate under high pressure and current density. A thorough comprehension of the multiphase flow characteristics within the porous transport layer (PTL) and flow channels is vital to enhance the efficiency of PEMWE. This paper presents an overview of current knowledge on multiphase flow in PEMWE and relevant modeling methods, highlighting the significance of regulating the microstructure of PTL and distinguishing the effects of multiphase flow in the flow channel from those in PTL. Moreover, to simulate PEMWE accurately, it is crucial to consider comprehensive physical and electrochemical processes and develop dependable closure models.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published.
The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are:
1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic.
2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic.
The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts.
Themed sections:
Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering:
1. Nanotechnology
2. Energy and environmental engineering
3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery)
5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.)
6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials).
7. Process systems engineering
8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
