Our NiCo Electrode in Kenya

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 Kenya 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.

Kenya hydrogen context

Kenya's geothermal resources and solar potential position it as East Africa's green hydrogen frontrunner. The country's existing geothermal power base provides a unique low-cost, baseload renewable electricity source for continuous electrolysis operation.
