Problem
The performance and durability of fuel cells and electrolyzers are limited by the efficiency and lifespan of their membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). Existing MEAs often rely on materials that are environmentally unfriendly or fail to meet the performance targets required for widespread adoption of hydrogen technologies.
Solution
Ionysis develops and manufactures advanced membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) for fuel cells and electrolyzers, enabling more efficient and sustainable energy conversion. Their MEAs integrate novel materials, including eco-friendly PFAS-free alternatives, to enhance performance and durability. By customizing MEAs to meet specific customer requirements, Ionysis facilitates the development of high-performing fuel cells for heavy-duty mobility and efficient electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. Their technology combines scientific expertise with advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver high-quality, application-specific solutions.
Target Audience
Ionysis serves manufacturers of fuel cells for heavy-duty vehicles (trucks, ships, trains, planes) and electrolyzers for green hydrogen production, as well as companies developing CO2 conversion technologies.
