Electrolyzer Oxide Coating

The Electrolyzer Oxide Coating family offer a chemically stable solution, coating a nanostructure with non-noble metal oxides, this avoiding the use of expensive platinum for anode porous transport electrodes (PTEs). The inventions also improve the durability and efficiency of the PTE.

The Inno­va­tion: A trans­port lay­er arrange­ment for the anode of a pro­ton exchange mem­brane water elec­trolyz­er, where the trans­port lay­er arrange­ment com­pris­es a porous lay­er and a plu­ral­i­ty of elon­gat­ed nanos­truc­tures. Each elon­gat­ed nanos­truc­ture is attached ti a first sur­face of the porous lay­er at one end of the elon­gat­ed nanos­truc­ture. The plu­ral­i­ty of elon­gat­ed nanos­truc­tures is cov­ered by a coat­ing com­pris­ing a first lay­er, which in turn com­pris­es a non-noble met­al oxide.
