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 United Kingdom’s Hydrogen Market

The UK targets 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with a mix of electrolytic and CCUS-enabled hydrogen. Scotland's Aberdeen is emerging as a hydrogen hub leveraging North Sea wind resources and existing oil and gas infrastructure. Industrial clusters in Humberside and Teesside are early movers in hydrogen adoption.

IONZERA provides UK hydrogen projects with a high-performance membrane that improves wind-to-hydrogen economics. Supply chain diversification away from single-source European membrane suppliers strengthens UK project resilience.
