Understanding the PEM Electrolyzer Technology

The 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.

Key Components and Their Functions

  • 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.

Benefits of Our Titanium Components for PEM Electrolyzers

Extreme Corrosion Resistance

Our titanium components withstand the highly acidic and oxidative environment at the anode side, ensuring long-term cell integrity.

High Current Density Operation

The components are designed to handle the high current densities characteristic of PEM technology, maximizing hydrogen output.

Enhanced Efficiency

Optimized surface structures and material purity minimize contact resistance and overpotential, leading to lower energy consumption.

Customizable PTLs

We offer custom Porous Transport Layers (PTLs) in titanium felt or mesh to optimize water and gas management within the cell.
