Core analysis of hydrogen rich water cup electrolytic cell
1. Structural composition
Electrode material: The mainstream uses titanium platinum electrode plates (positive and negative electrodes), which have stable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Some high-end products are enhanced with SPE proton membrane technology to improve hydrogen purity.
Ionic separator: located between electrodes, used to block oxygen and other by-products (such as ozone and chlorine) generated by electrolysis, ensuring that hydrogen gas is mainly dissolved in water.
2. Working principle
After being electrified, water molecules decompose into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas under the action of electrodes (hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and oxygen gas is produced at the anode).
Through membrane screening, hydrogen gas dissolves in water, and oxygen or by-products are discharged.
Some upgraded technologies, such as SPE proton membrane electrolyzers, can reduce impurities and improve hydrogen production efficiency, but the cost increases significantly.
3. Type comparison
Type: Ordinary electrolytic cell SPE proton membrane electrolytic cell
The principle is to directly electrolyze water, and the by-product ozone/chlorine proton membrane isolates impurities, resulting in purer hydrogen gas
Low cost (¥ 80-300) High (thousands to tens of thousands)
Safety may result in residual heavy metals/odors, stable water quality, and minimal impurities
4. Use and maintenance
First use: It is necessary to electrolyze once and pour out the water, clean the residue before drinking officially.
Water temperature control: Avoid using boiled water (≤ 45 ℃), as high temperatures may damage the electrolytic cell or release harmful substances.
Long term maintenance: Keep the electrode moist with a small amount of water on a daily basis, and thoroughly dry and prevent corrosion if it is left unused for a long time.
