Catalysts
Activity and durability evaluated for PEM fuel cell and electrolyser use, including Pt/C and Ir-based systems.
Beyond the training
Material Testing
Testing and evaluation for fuel cell and electrolyser materials and components — catalysts, gas diffusion layers, bipolar plates and custom-designed parts for PEM fuel cells and PEM electrolysers. We also undertake the custom design, fabrication and testing of components developed by researchers, students, industries and academic institutions, to their own requirements.
Have a component you have developed? We can help you design, fabricate and test it.
What it covers
What you actually get
Membranes and MEAs
Your membrane or complete membrane electrode assembly assembled into a single cell and characterised.
Bipolar plates and GDL
Flow-field plates and gas diffusion layers assessed in a working cell rather than in isolation.
Performance analysis
Polarization curves, efficiency and flow rate calculations, with the plotted data returned to you.
Your own samples during training
Materials you bring can be tested inside a training slot, subject to prior discussion with the coordinator.
From the sessions
Who it is for
Typically arranged by
Research scholars with synthesised materials and no cell to test them in
Faculty running a materials group without fuel cell hardware
Industry R&D validating a component before committing to it
