Project Overview

In this project, we will be working on creating a highly efficient and stable low-loading noble metal catalyst that will be integrated into a 3D porous structure. This catalyst and structure will be used in a 15 kW AEM electrolyzer. Our goal is to assess the enhanced performance and long-term stability of this catalyst when applied to the designed 3D porous structure, which will serve as the gas diffusion layer in the cell assembly.
Cipher Neutron, the only Canadian AEM electrolyzer company, expresses a strong interest in this project. They are committed to conducting comprehensive testing of all synthesized catalysts with their commercial electrolyzers and share the results with our research team for further improvement. The proposed project will advance the knowledge of catalyst efficiency and degradation rate in a commercial AEM electrolyzer (15kW) The main challenge of the proposed project is to minimize the degradation of the catalyst in an operating 15 kW electrolyzer.
