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 Pune

Pune's engineering and automotive manufacturing ecosystem makes it a natural hub for electrolyser development and hydrogen technology. The city hosts multiple companies developing alkaline and PEM electrolysers, along with automotive OEMs exploring hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Pune's proximity to Mumbai's refinery corridor creates a complementary hydrogen demand-supply dynamic.

Pune-based electrolyser OEMs gain a competitive advantage by integrating IONZERA's 3x lower resistance into their stack designs. Domestic sourcing from Bengaluru (2-3 days) provides supply chain reliability that imported membranes cannot match, while IONZERA's performance enables Pune OEMs to differentiate on efficiency.
