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 Houston
Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.
For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
