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.
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.
Researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada have developed a new catalyst that could revolutionize how we generate power and purify water. When placed in any type of water and provided with a small amount of power, the catalyst produces hydrogen along with distilled water that is safe to drink.
Ionomr Innovations, a Canadian company designing and manufacturing next-generation ion exchange membranes and polymers, is collaborating with Sunfire to develop an AEM electrolyzer in the upper double-digit kW range for industrial scale-up using Ionomr’s Aemion+® anion exchange membranes.
Researchers from the University of Twente in the Netherlands have developed a new composite material for electrodes used in PEM-based electrolysis cells. Consisting of several earth-abundant elements, the new material outperforms the individual compounds by one to two orders of magnitude.
As part of the HighHy project, an international team of researchers from Germany and New Zealand is working on improving the efficiency of the emerging AEM electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen. To make this possible, they have turned to the readily available metals manganese and nickel.
H2U Technologies and Tokyo Gas have entered a multi-year Joint Development Agreement to discover novel catalysts and develop techniques to apply those catalysts onto membranes. The companies will leverage H2U’s proprietary Catalyst Discovery Engine (CDE) to reduce the cost of PEM electrolyzers.
Agfa has announced that its Board of Directors has validated the investment for a new industrial unit for the company’s Zirfon membranes for green hydrogen production, next to further investments in growing the current facility. The unit will be installed in existing buildings at the company’s site in Mortsel, Belgium.
Electriq, an end-to-end safe hydrogen solution provider, and Zenith Energy Terminals, a global energy storage and handling company, have announced a partnership to build the world’s first manufacturing plant of Electriq Powder – a solid hydrogen carrier, in the Port of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
RMIT University researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater, skipping the need for desalination and its associated cost, energy consumption and carbon emissions. What is more, the new process generates no chlorine as a by-product.
