Revolutionizing PEM electrolysis

Revo­lu­tion­iz­ing PEM elec­tro­lys­is: Ultra-low iridi­um load­ing made pos­sible by spa­tial atom­ic lay­er depos­ition and car­bon nan­ofiber cata­lyst supports.

Hos­ted by Alex­an­der Bou­man, Tech­nic­al Busi­ness Developer at SparkNano, and Fabi­an Wenger, Head of R&D Smol­tek Hydro­gen, this webin­ar will explore innov­at­ive solu­tions to pro­duce green hydro­gen using PEM elec­tro­lyz­ers with ultra-low iridi­um load­ings, developed by SparkNano (Eind­hoven, the Neth­er­lands) and Smol­tek (Göte­borg, Sweden). 

We will present the use of SparkNano’s spa­tial atom­ic lay­er depos­ition (Spa­tial ALD) tech­no­logy, com­bined with nano­struc­tured cata­lyst sup­ports based on Smol­tek’s car­bon nan­ofibers (CNF), to reduce iridi­um load­ings to 0.2 mg/​cm², which is 40 times lower than con­ven­tion­al meth­ods, while enhan­cing the catalyst’s sta­bil­ity, elec­tro­chem­ic­al per­form­ance, and provid­ing a scal­able, cost-effect­ive solu­tion for indus­tri­al-scale hydro­gen production.

Date & Time: 25 Septem­ber 2024
• Ses­sion 1: 8:30 AM (CET)
• Ses­sion 2: 4:30 PM (CET)
(Both ses­sions are identic­al, sched­uled at dif­fer­ent times for glob­al convenience.)

Join us for an insight­ful ses­sion where we delve into how Spa­tial ALD and CNF tech­no­logy are address­ing the crit­ic­al chal­lenges in scal­ing PEM elec­tro­lyz­ers for green hydro­gen production.

Webin­ar Agenda:

• Intro­duc­tion: Identi­fy­ing the cur­rent obstacles in PEM elec­tro­lyz­er pro­duc­tion and the path to mass-scale adoption.
• Tech­no­logy Deep Dive: A com­pre­hens­ive over­view of Spa­tial ALD tech­no­logy and CNF sup­ports, high­light­ing the cre­ation of ultra-thin, con­form­al pro­tect­ive coat­ings at high throughput.
• Syn­ergy of Spa­tial ALD and CNF: Learn how the integ­ra­tion of these two advanced tech­no­lo­gies enhances per­form­ance and dur­ab­il­ity in PEM electrolyzers.
• Open Dis­cus­sion (10 minutes): Ask your ques­tions in a live Q&A
