Throughout the hydrogen value chain, a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials are used to serve many different purposes. Their selection is based on numerous factors, such as material properties, availability, and cost, as well as process conditions and other requirements concerning strength, weight, temperature, pressure, corrosion resistance, conductivity, etc. In this section you can find news items related to the materials used in all equipment associated with water electrolysis, hydrogen transport, storage, and processing. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Ohmium has reached an 18 GW per ton iridium utilization rate in its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, surpassing the industry’s 2030 target of 10 GW per ton.
Asahi Kasei has launched a joint demonstration project with Nobian, Furuya Metal, and Mastermelt to recycle metals, including precious metals, from the cells and electrodes used in electrolyzers for caustic soda production.
The HYScale project is upscaling innovative high-performance materials for green hydrogen production, targeting scalable electrolyser technology that reduces reliance on critical raw materials (CRMs) and PFAS.
Evonik is building a pilot plant in Marl, Germany, for the production of its anion exchange membrane (AEM), marketed under the name DURAION®.
California Catalysts™ (Calicat™), formerly H2U Technologies, has announced a landmark achievement for generation 3 of its flagship product, the Amplifier zero-iridium PEMwe OER catalyst, which has achieved an unprecedented activity milestone of 2 Volts at a current density over 2 A/cm².
Mattiq has announced a strategic partnership with Heraeus Precious Metals to develop and commercialize advanced electrocatalyst materials for green hydrogen production.
DuPont has announced that DuPont™ MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease has successfully met rigorous hydrogen purity standards in accordance with ISO 14687:2019.
Greene Tweed, a specialist in advanced materials and high-performance solutions, has announced the launch of Arlon® 3160XT, a new glass-reinforced, cross-linked PEEK material designed for fuel cell, electrolyzer, and valve components.
Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB has developed a porous transport electrode (PTE) that reduces the amount of iridium catalyst in PEM electrolyzers to a minimum of 0.1 mg/cm² – the level considered necessary to make large-scale production of PEM electrolyzers profitable.
High-performance materials specialist Syensqo has increased the production capacity for its Udel® polysulfones (PSU) sulfone polymers at its Marietta, Ohio, US, facility by more than 25%. These polymers are used in critical health, water, and energy applications, including green hydrogen production systems.
