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.
WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH has introduced new materials applied as liquid sealants and adhesives for automated production of alkaline, AEM, and PEM electrolyser stacks, significantly speeding up the process compared to manual assembly. These materials offer high chemical resistance, low hydrogen permeation, and good adhesion.
LANXESS has developed special ion exchange resin grades within its Lewatit UltraPure range that are suitable for water treatment in PEM electrolysis. The company recommends its Lewatit UltraPure 1242 MD, 1212 MD, and 1295 MD ion exchange resins, which are optimized for this application, to ensure low TOC (Total Organic Carbon) levels.
Ionomr Innovations has released a catalyst coated membrane (CCM) based on its Aemion® anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for reference development of low-cost green hydrogen systems. This marks ‘a new era’ for green hydrogen production, featuring iridium-free CCMs devoid of toxic PFSA substances.
Horizon Fuel Cell has announced a technology breakthrough on Anion Exchange Membranes (AEM) that could play a crucial role in realising the targeted $1/kg green hydrogen production cost at scale. This development has been achieved in collaboration with partners on base materials and manufacturing processes.
Strohm recently completed an extensive hydrogen testing program on its Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) at TÜV-SÜD in Germany. Spanning six months, the assessment evaluated permeation across various pressures and temperatures using a full-scale TCP with two end-fittings. The findings were highly promising.
Researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research in Japan have developed a solid electrolyte for transporting hydride ions (H⁻) at room temperature. This breakthrough means that the advantages of hydrogen-based solid-state batteries and fuel cells are within practical reach, including improved safety, efficiency, and energy density.
Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation and W. L. Gore & Associates have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of advanced polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) for hydrogen fuel cell systems. The joint effort between the parties will encompass key aspects of PEM development.
H2U Technologies, a next-generation electrolyzer developer, and De Nora, the world’s largest supplier of high-performing catalyst-coated membranes, today announced an R&D agreement to identify and develop low-cost, high-performance electrocatalysts for hydrogen production through water electrolysis.
Versogen has announced it has reached a membrane production capacity capable of supporting 1 GW of AEM electrolyzers annually. From the company’s roots in a research lab at the University of Delaware, Versogen has scaled up the production capabilities of its proprietary PiperION® polymer by a factor greater than 2,000 times.
First Graphene has revealed results from an independent study, highlighting the effectiveness of graphene-based electrocatalysts in green hydrogen production. The study found that electrodes made of First Graphene’s metal-oxide doped graphene lowered the amount of power needed to produce green hydrogen.
