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 Lyon

Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes corridor form one of France's primary hydrogen valleys, combining chemical industry demand with nuclear and renewable electricity for electrolysis. The region hosts hydrogen mobility projects and industrial decarbonization initiatives.

For Lyon's hydrogen valley projects, IONZERA provides 3x lower resistance than conventional separators, improving electrolysis efficiency. Air freight from India takes 5-7 days, with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.
