Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements
- Hydrogen generation by electrolysis of urea is possible
- The energy requirement for production of hydrogen can be reduced by 40 % through urea electrolysis
- COx is emitted as an intermediate during urea oxidation
Which of the following statement/s given above is/are correct
Correct
Solution(c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Indian Scientists have designed an electro catalyst system for energy-efficient hydrogen production with the help of electrolysis of urea. The urea electrolysis is helpful towards urea-based waste treatment with low-cost hydrogen production. The energy requirement for production of hydrogen through water electrolysis can be reduced by 70 % through urea electrolysis. The energy-intensive counterpart of water splitting, oxygen evolution, can be replaced with urea oxidation in urea electrolysis The main challenge associated with urea oxidation is retaining the prolonged activity of the catalyst as the strong adsorption of the reactive intermediate (COx) on the active site, referred to as catalyst poisoning, causes activity loss.
