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.
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.
Smoltek, a Swedish nanotech company, today announced it has been awarded the first patent of a new patent family internally called Electro Catalyst Support, which is targeting the production of green hydrogen. This innovation discloses how Smoltek’s carbon nanofibers can support the iridium catalyst load in a PEM electrolyzer in a better way.
Researchers from The University of Manchester and the University of Warwick have finally solved the long-standing puzzle of why graphene is so much more permeable to protons than expected by theory. The discovery could lead to the development of low-cost catalysts for hydrogen-related technologies.
Dutch researchers have discovered that the type of salt present in the production of hydrogen through electrolysis affects the formation of hydrogen bubbles. This discovery is interesting because bubble formation affects the efficiency of hydrogen production.
As part of ongoing efforts to develop materials that could enable alternative energy sources, researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have produced a titanium oxide nanofilament material that can harness sunlight to produce green hydrogen.
Cipher Neutron and Ionomr Innovations have entered into a collaboration agreement to bring innovative electrolyzer membrane technology together with advanced anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer technology to create the first North American-made 250kW AEM hydrogen electrolyzer.
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed a new catalyst composed of elements abundant in the Earth. The catalyst could make possible the low-cost and energy-efficient production of hydrogen for use in transportation and industrial applications.
