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.
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.
HYScale, a new EU-funded project, has been launched with the aim of upscaling an efficient, durable, sustainable, and cost-effective electrolyser technology capable of operating stably at higher current densities than the current state of the art, promising a significant advancement in green hydrogen production.
A group of material scientists from Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China, has manufactured an electrocatalyst using an inexpensive ferric-nickel silicide (FeNiSi) alloy and simple methods to effectively decrease the energy required to generate clean hydrogen from water.
Researchers in Japan have developed a new material capable of storing hydrogen energy for up to three months at room temperature, thereby increasing the efficiency of hydrogen storage and reducing its cost. Moreover, since the material is based on relatively inexpensive nickel, its cost is relatively low.
Mattiq announced today the development of a portfolio of novel, highly durable alternatives to iridium, a rare and costly element critical to clean hydrogen production. Each alternative has the potential to meet or exceed that material’s performance, but with a much lower cost and greater availability.
DuPont today announced the launch of its first product dedicated to the production of green hydrogen – the DuPont™ AmberLite™ P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin. To support the production of hydrogen from water, this newly available ion exchange resin is designed for the unique chemistry of electrolyzer loops.
Ionomr Innovations has validated industry-leading stability and performance of its AEM electrolyzer technology using proprietary Aemion+® membranes and polymers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and secured funding from Shell Ventures and others.
H2U Technologies has performed durability tests on new, lower-cost, iridium-free catalyst materials that demonstrate a projected lifetime of 25,000 hours. This groundbreaking durability milestone addresses supply chain bottlenecks for sustainable hydrogen production with Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers.
