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 Chile’s Hydrogen Market

Chile's Atacama Desert offers the world's best solar irradiance, targeting the lowest-cost green hydrogen globally. The country's mining sector (copper, lithium) provides both hydrogen demand and export infrastructure. Chile aims to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen by 2030.

In a market where every cent per kg matters, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance directly reduces electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, helping Chile achieve its target of the world's lowest-cost green hydrogen.
