3x Lower Cell Voltage Drop

Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 vs Zirfon's 0.30 ohm-cm2 reduces the voltage penalty across the membrane by approximately 0.08V per cell at typical operating current densities.

Drop-In Stack Compatibility

IONZERA is fully compatible with standard AWE operating conditions: 30 wt% KOH electrolyte, temperatures up to 45 degrees C, and current densities from 0.2-0.6 A/cm2. No frame modifications required.

Mesh-Free Uniform Performance

Without PPS mesh reinforcement, IONZERA provides more consistent pore distribution across the entire active area, reducing localized hot spots and non-uniform current distribution in large-format cells.

Compact Stack Design

At 350-410 um, IONZERA is 20-30% thinner than Zirfon, enabling higher cell density per stack length and reducing overall stack weight and footprint.

Alkaline Water Electrolysis in Australia’s Hydrogen Market

Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy targets the country as a top-three global hydrogen exporter by 2030. With vast solar and wind resources across Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, plus established LNG export infrastructure, Australia is building a comprehensive hydrogen supply chain. Mining operations provide both export infrastructure and hydrogen demand.

IONZERA helps Australian hydrogen projects achieve competitive export pricing through lower production costs. The India-Australia trade corridor provides faster and more cost-effective membrane supply compared to European sources.
