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 Jamnagar

Jamnagar hosts one of the world's largest integrated refinery complexes, consuming enormous volumes of hydrogen for crude oil processing. The transition from grey (SMR-based) to green (electrolysis-based) hydrogen at this scale represents one of the largest single-site opportunities for AWE membrane deployment globally. Adjacent petrochemical operations further amplify hydrogen demand.

For world-scale refinery hydrogen replacement, membrane efficiency directly impacts project economics. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance reduces electricity cost per kg of H2, and its domestic availability ensures supply chain security for a critical refinery input. G-Hexa can support the volume requirements of Jamnagar-scale deployments.
