Proton Electrolysis

Mastering Ionomer Chemistry, Catalyst Dynamics, and Cold-Start Systems

Unlock the future of green hydrogen through the precision of Proton Exchange Membrane science.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the intricate chemistry of perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomers.

• Optimize Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCM) for maximum efficiency.

• Solve the critical engineering challenges of sub-zero cold-starts.

• Navigate the unique landscape of iridium and platinum catalysts.
