The proliferation of renewable energy sources in concordance with global hydrogen economy and carbon neutrality policies has resulted in a surge in demand for hydrogen as a sustainable, high-capacity energy storage material over the long term.
To facilitate the gradual commercialization of hydrogen, the production of green hydrogen via water electrolysis using renewable energy sources, as opposed to conventional grid electricity, represents a promising approach.
The facility cost of water electrolysis is the second most significant contributor to the cost of green hydrogen production after electricity. To reduce this cost, it is recommended that research and development is conducted on six key performance indicators (KPIs) including system size, law capital expenditure (CAPEX), durability, high current density, stack pressure, and partial-load range.
Our laboratory is dedicated to the development and optimization of materials, components, and systems for alkaline water electrolysis, with a particular focus on enhancing the performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness of electrolysis systems for the production of green hydrogen.
We conduct extensive testing and validation of our materials and systems, including rigorous stack and cell test protocols, to ensure that our technologies meet the highest standards of efficiency and reliability.
