Proven KOH Chemical Stability

IONZERA's polysulfone matrix with TiO2 and graphene oxide is specifically engineered for concentrated KOH environments, providing long-term chemical resistance in harsh alkaline conditions.

Ultra-Low Ionic Resistance

Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 in 30 wt% KOH reduces energy consumption in any alkaline electrochemical process, directly lowering operating costs.

Anti-Fouling Properties

Graphene oxide nanosheets and TiO2 photocatalytic activity provide inherent anti-fouling characteristics, extending membrane life in industrial electrochemical environments.

Mechanical Durability

Tensile strength of 2.7 MPa with adequate elongation at break ensures the membrane withstands the mechanical stresses of industrial-scale electrochemical cells.

Chlor-Alkali Process in China’s Hydrogen Market

China operates the world's largest alkaline electrolyser manufacturing base and is the dominant market for AWE systems globally. With aggressive renewable energy deployment in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and coastal provinces, China's green hydrogen capacity is scaling from GW to tens of GW. The domestic alkaline electrolyser market is intensely competitive, creating demand for differentiated membrane technology.

For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator. The mesh-free design and advanced nanocomposite composition represent a next-generation technology leap for stacks targeting export markets with stringent performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for chlor-alkali process in China?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for chlor-alkali process applications in China. For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator.

How does IONZERA compare to Chinese domestic AWE membranes?

IONZERA's proprietary PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite achieves 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 area resistance, which is significantly lower than most domestic Chinese AWE separators. The mesh-free architecture and graphene oxide enhancement provide a technology generation leap.

Can Chinese electrolyser OEMs integrate IONZERA as a drop-in membrane?

Yes. IONZERA operates in standard 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C and is compatible with standard AWE stack designs. It is a direct replacement for existing separators without requiring frame or system modifications.
