Development of a Solar-Powered, Automated Water Ionizer Using Graphite-Based Electrodes for Alkaline and Acidic Water Production

Abstract

This study presents the development and automation of a novel water ionizer, designed to produce ionized water with precisely controlled pH levels through an advanced electrolysis process. The primary objective is to generate both alkaline and acidic water for various applications, including sterilization, cleaning, and drinking. With the increasing demand for alkaline water due to its potential human health benefits in reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals, this research introduces a cost-effective, eco-friendly system that integrates innovative graphite-based electrode materials, automated control mechanisms, and a PV solar power system. These electrodes contribute to cost reduction, while the automation system enables precise regulation of pH levels, significantly enhancing the reliability and user convenience of the ionizer. Additionally, the system is powered by a solar cell setup, optimizing the use of renewable energy and aligning with sustainability goals by reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
