We specialize in high-performance components for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzers, including advanced Titanium Anodes and Porous Transport Layers (PTLs), essential for efficient and sustainable green hydrogen production.
Request a QuoteThe PEM electrolyzer is a cutting-edge technology for producing high-purity hydrogen by splitting water using electricity. It is characterized by a solid polymer electrolyte (the PEM) that conducts protons, offering high current density, compact design, and rapid response to dynamic power sources like wind and solar. This makes it a key enabler for the green hydrogen economy.
Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM): Separates the anode and cathode compartments while transporting protons (H+).
Catalyst Layers: Typically Iridium/Ruthenium on the anode (Oxygen Evolution Reaction) and Platinum on the cathode (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction).
Titanium Anode (Current Collector): Collects current from the anode side and distributes reactants. Must be highly corrosion-resistant.
Porous Transport Layer (PTL): Facilitates the transport of water, gas, and electrons between the catalyst layer and the bipolar plate.
Our titanium components withstand the highly acidic and oxidative environment at the anode side, ensuring long-term cell integrity.
The components are designed to handle the high current densities characteristic of PEM technology, maximizing hydrogen output.
Optimized surface structures and material purity minimize contact resistance and overpotential, leading to lower energy consumption.
We offer custom Porous Transport Layers (PTLs) in titanium felt or mesh to optimize water and gas management within the cell.
We focus on the critical titanium-based components that ensure the durability and performance of the PEM stack.
