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 States’s Hydrogen Market
The US hydrogen market is accelerating under the Inflation Reduction Act's production tax credits (up to $3/kg for clean hydrogen) and the DOE's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program. Houston, Pittsburgh, and California are focal points for hydrogen production, with applications spanning refineries, steel, ammonia, and transport. American electrolyser manufacturers are scaling rapidly to capture IRA incentives.
IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance. For American electrolyser OEMs, IONZERA provides a high-performance membrane source that diversifies supply beyond European single-supplier dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose IONZERA for alkaline water electrolysis in United States?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for alkaline water electrolysis applications in United States. IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance.
How does IONZERA improve the economics of IRA-supported hydrogen projects?
The IRA provides up to $3/kg production tax credit for clean hydrogen. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, lowering production costs and maximizing the net benefit of IRA incentives for alkaline electrolysis projects.
Can IONZERA be used in DOE Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub projects?
Yes. IONZERA is a drop-in replacement for conventional AWE membranes, compatible with standard alkaline electrolyser stacks. Hub projects using alkaline electrolysis can benefit from IONZERA's superior efficiency and competitive pricing.
