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 Chennai

Chennai and the Tamil Nadu industrial corridor are home to major automotive manufacturing, petroleum refining, and chemical processing operations. The state's aggressive renewable energy targets and industrial hydrogen demand make it a key market for alkaline electrolysis deployment. Tamil Nadu's growing wind and solar capacity provides renewable electricity for green hydrogen production.

Chennai is just 1-2 days from the IONZERA manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, providing the fastest delivery outside the manufacturing city itself. Tamil Nadu's automotive and refinery sectors benefit from IONZERA's efficiency improvements for on-site hydrogen production at competitive domestic pricing.
