High efficiency and durability of electrolysers are essential for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy and the achievement of climate targets.
In our laboratories, we characterize all main cell components and materials, in particular membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) and porous transport layers (PTL) for PEM and AEM water electrolysis. Our focus here is on performance and aging behavior as a function of relevant operating conditions such as current profile, temperature, and pressure. We use a variety of state-of-the-art in-situ and ex-situ measurement methods to gain comprehensive insights and understanding into the physical-electrochemical processes during operation and the degradation behavior of electrolysis cells and stacks and its components.
We offer a unique combination of excellent research infrastructure, long lasting in-depth electrochemical knowledge, and broad industry-relevant application expertise to meet the requirements of our customers and project partners.
