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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market
South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.
