OEM INTEGRATION
OEM INTEGRATIONIntegrate IONZERA into Your Electrolyser Stack Design
For electrolyser manufacturers building the next generation of alkaline stacks, IONZERA offers a step-change in membrane performance with full technical integration support from G-Hexa.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GODifferentiate Your Stack
IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance gives your electrolyser a measurable efficiency advantage over competitors using Zirfon, reducing the LCOH your customers achieve.
Custom Membrane Sizing
G-Hexa provides IONZERA membranes cut to your specific cell dimensions, from small laboratory cells to large-format industrial electrodes, with consistent quality across all sizes.
Volume Pricing Structure
Mesh-free manufacturing and India-based production enable competitive volume pricing that improves as your order quantities scale with market growth.
Dedicated OEM Support
G-Hexa's engineering team provides hands-on integration support including membrane handling procedures, stack assembly guidance, break-in protocols, and performance optimization.
The OEM Membrane Selection Decision
For alkaline electrolyser manufacturers, the separator membrane is one of the most consequential component selection decisions. It directly impacts stack efficiency (kWh/kg H2), stack compactness (cells per stack), durability (expected lifetime), and cost (bill of materials). Every OEM evaluates these trade-offs when selecting a membrane for their stack platform.
IONZERA offers OEMs a compelling value proposition across all four dimensions. The 3x lower area resistance improves efficiency, the 20-30% thinner profile enables more compact stacks, the robust PSU-TiO2-GO construction provides durability, and the mesh-free, India-manufactured design delivers competitive pricing.
Integration Process
G-Hexa has developed a structured OEM integration process to support membrane qualification and adoption:

Technical Support for Stack Optimization
Beyond supplying membranes, G-Hexa's engineering team collaborates with OEM stack designers to optimize performance. This includes guidance on inter-electrode gap optimization for the thinner IONZERA profile, electrolyte flow rate recommendations for the higher-porosity membrane, break-in procedure optimization, and operating parameter tuning to maximize the efficiency advantage of IONZERA's lower resistance.
Whether you are designing a new stack platform from scratch or evaluating IONZERA as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in an existing design, G-Hexa provides the technical partnership that OEMs need to integrate a new membrane confidently.

20% THINNER1000-hour stability validated on our Electrodes
Our bifunctional NiCo electrode (on Ni foam, electroless-deposited) was tested for 1000 continuous hours in an AEM cell at 0.5 A/cm2 and 40 deg C in 30 wt% KOH. The cell voltage drifted by just 21 uV/hr over the full window, and the linear-sweep polarization curve before and after the run differs by only 30 mV at the operating point. The cell used a commercial Zirfon separator (500 um) as the membrane reference.
For OEMs evaluating both sides of the stack, this is the durability bar to qualify against. The NiCo electrode is offered alongside IONZERA as the matching separator - the natural pairing on the same Phase-2 durability protocol. See the full electrode product page at /electrodes.
- Run conditions: 0.5 A/cm2, 40 deg C, 30 wt% KOH, zero-gap assembly, commercial Zirfon separator.
- Bifunctional NiCo electrode is the single SKU for both cathode and anode - simpler stack BOM.
- The IONZERA membrane and our NiCo electrode are designed to qualify against the same durability protocol.
