Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) water electrolysis with integrated electrodes and an innovative stack-design

Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) water electrolysis with integrated electrodes and an innovative stack-design

Approach:

  • Innovative and simplified stack design:
    Use of suitable (PFSA-free) adhesives and glues for bonding and sealing
  • Improved anode performance:
    • Fabrication of 3D Ni mesh anodes
    • Electrodeposition of catalyst, electrochemical activation
  • Stability testing of (PFSA-free) membranes
  • Benchmarking to commercial electrolyzer stack
  • Improved understanding through EIS on cell & stack level, coupled with simulation
