Our NiCo Electrode in China

Published reference performance

In a 5 cm² AEM cell with our bifunctional NiCo electrode on both sides and a commercial Zirfon separator (500 µm), the cell logs 0.5 A/cm² at 1.81 V at room temperature (82% energy efficiency) and 1.62 V at 60 °C (91.4%). At 1.0 A/cm²: 2.05 V at room temperature and 1.79 V at 60 °C.

Continuous 1000-hour run with the same configuration at 0.5 A/cm² and 40 °C in 30 wt% KOH: voltage drift of 21 µV/hr. Renewable-coupled dynamic-load runs of 9 days (solar) and 100 hours (wind) on the same electrode + separator combination.

Customers in China can request samples in sizes from 5 cm² bench coupons to 1000 cm² pilot-scale electrodes to reproduce the published numbers on their own cell.

China hydrogen context

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.
