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 India’s Hydrogen Market

India's National Green Hydrogen Mission commits INR 19,744 crore to building a domestic green hydrogen ecosystem. The country targets 125 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE separator membranes. With refineries, fertilizer plants, and steel mills concentrated across Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, India represents the fastest-growing alkaline electrolysis market globally.

IONZERA is manufactured by G-Hexa Research Center in Bengaluru, making it the only domestically produced high-performance AWE membrane in India. This eliminates import duties, reduces lead times to 2-5 days for any Indian city, and aligns with Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives. Indian electrolyser OEMs and project developers benefit from rupee-denominated pricing and direct technical support.
