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 Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.
For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
