Technology
- More efficient catalyst for the anode of PEM electrolysis.
- Method for preparing porous microspheres made of iridium oxide with a unique morphology and a very large accessible surface area.
Market
Advantages:
- Improves the catalytic properties: 10 times less iridium is needed for the same current density versus voltage.
- Relatively simple implementation: easy control of porosity, particle size, and Ir/IrO2 ratio of the final material ; no purification step needed.
Development
- 2 years of tests in real conditions have demonstrated this gain in efficiency.
- TRL 6
