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 Korea’s Hydrogen Market

South Korea's Hydrogen Economy Roadmap is one of the world's most comprehensive, spanning production, distribution, and end-use across transport and power. Ulsan is developing as a hydrogen industrial hub, while Seoul drives policy and R&D. Korean companies are investing in both domestic electrolysis and international hydrogen supply chains.

IONZERA supports Korean electrolyser manufacturers and hydrogen project developers with a high-performance membrane that improves stack efficiency and differentiates Korean-made electrolysers in competitive export markets.
