Catalyst coated membrane with the lowest known Iridium loading.

Product

At bspkl we specialise in developing catalyst coated membrane solutions to overcome catalyst supply challenges and manufacturing bottlenecks.

Catalyst Coated Membrane for PEM Electrolysis

25x less catalyst materials & bespoke catalyst formulation

0.122 mg/cm2 total PGM catalyst loading

0.089 mg/cm2 of Iridium

We can develop new catalyst mixes or doping formulations to best meet your performance criteria. We have demonstrated CCM with Platinum, Iridium and Ruthenium catalyst materials

Flexible catalyst layer

Our products don’t demonstrate delamination of the catalyst layer from the membrane.

Direct deposit on membrane, means our CCM doesn’t require a carbon support structure layer

The flexible catalyst layer is not susceptible to cracking

High performing and durable CCM

We are targeting a CCM performance profile of

  • Current densities of above 1 A/cm2 at 2.1V, with R&D underway to increase the performance to 2 A/cm2

  • Degradation rates of <3µV/h

Reliable, scalable and sustainable supply of CCM

As demand for your electrolyser systems increases, our ability supply can scale with you. Our approach to breakthrough manufacturing completely re-thinks how CCM can be manufactured. By utilizing technology from the semiconductor industry, we can produce CCM rapidly and through a highly scalable approach.

Catalyst Coated Membrane for AEM and Fuel Cells.

Our manufacturing approach for CCM is flexible, which means we can produce bespoke CCM products tailored to your needs. We can deliver CCM for new and emerging electrolyser or fuel cell technologies

Catalyst Agnostic

Our low catalyst loading approach is not limited to the PGM group, we can design CCM using most available catalyst materials, such as Iron/Nickel complexes and other catalyst formulations emerging from research.

Membrane Agnostic

We can apply a catalyst layer to any membrane material, so long as it comes in a dry, roll format. We don’t require any pre- or post-processing to the membrane material which minimizes the potential for damage or micro-tearing to the membrane.
