PEM Electrolysis giving O2 at Cathode and H2 at anode.

IRON MAN · August 13, 2022, 12:19

Hey all,

I am trying to simulate PEM Electrolysis of Water but l am receiving H2 at anode’s outlet and O2 wt cathode’s outlet whereas it should be the opposite.

What’s the problem and how can l fix it? Thanksb

Check the boundary conditions. Which software are you using?
