Exhibition & Conference

Visit the booth of the Fraunhofer Strategic Research Field Hydrogen Technologies at the European Hydrogen Week, from November 18-22, 2024, in Brussels, Belgium, for an informative exchange on Fraunhofer research and expertise in the field of hydrogen. Together with six other Fraunhofer Institutes, Fraunhofer ISE will present pioneering innovations and solutions for the sustainable energy supply of the future.

Production of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for PEM water electrolysis cells

Green hydrogen is key to replacing fossil fuels in the long term. In order to produce market-competitive electrolysis stacks in large quantities in the near future, innovative steps are required in both design and production.

The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the electrochemical heart of electrolysers, where water is split into oxygen and hydrogen in electrolyzers using current and voltage, and where hydrogen is converted into electricity, heat and product water in fuel cells. The ramp-up of the electrolyser economy requires a comprehensive understanding of the optimal, efficient and sustainable production of MEAs.

At our booth, you will see, for example, membranes electrode assemblies (MEA) or catalyst coated membranes (CCM) for PEM water electrolysis (PEMWE), produced at Fraunhofer ISE using a screen printing or slot die process.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Fraunhofer Hydrogen Network booth during the European Hydrogen Week!
