The Thermodynamics of Aqueous Water Electrolysis
Abstract
Precise definitions are given of three thermodynamic parameters which characterize the water‐electrolysis reaction: the enthalpic voltage, the higher‐heating‐value voltage, and the thermoneutral voltage. Expressions are derived for these parameters and for the reversible potential, as functions of temperature between 25° and 250°C, and of pressure between 1 and 100 atm. Heat losses due to radiation, convection, and conduction are also considered, and a thermal‐balance voltage is defined; representative values are calculated. Electrical‐energy efficiency is related to the characteristic parameters, and thermodynamic limitations on its value are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
