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 Brazil’s Hydrogen Market

Brazil's exceptional wind and solar resources, especially in the Northeast, position it as a global green hydrogen export powerhouse. The country's established ethanol and biodiesel infrastructure provides a template for scaling hydrogen. Port cities are developing hydrogen export terminals.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements reduce the cost of Brazilian green hydrogen, strengthening the export case for South American hydrogen and ammonia in European and Asian markets.
