Project introduction:
The German company is committed to the development of solutions in the fields of electronic power management, 3D printing/additive manufacturing, functional feed additives, etc. Among them, in the field of electronic power management, materials and technologies are mainly developed for the application of energy storage and proton conductive films.
The company has developed a proton conductive film, which can be used at the temperature of 180°C, for a robust fuel cell system, and to more effectively separate hydrogen from the gas mixture. Circulation, impurities in gas flow and changing application conditions will all bring pressure to materials used in high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells and electrochemical hydrogen separation systems, which is where Celtec membrane electrode assembly (MEA) shows its advantages.
The center of MEA is Celtec membrane, which allows it to operate at a temperature of 120 to 180°C, thus achieving high tolerance to impurities and simplifying water management. The company has been producing CeltecMEA for fuel cells for 15 years, which shows long-term stability and high performance even under harsh operating conditions. In the past five years, the application of Celtec technology in electrochemical hydrogen separation has been tested. The anode, membrane, cathode and internal seal are combined together in the MEA, and the MEA in the stack can be used to generate electricity or separate hydrogen in the fuel cell. The membrane is produced by different intermediates through a patented sol-gel process, which is gas-proof and contains phosphoric acid for proton conduction. Gas diffusion electrode is composed of braided carbon coated with catalyst, which can disperse gas, decompose hydrogen and oxygen, and conduct electrons. They are divided into anode (hydrogen oxidation) and cathode (oxygen reduction).
Advantages of the project:
Long-term stability and high performance;
Can be used under severe conditions such as high temperature;
Cooperate with enterprises and research institutes to continuously upgrade products.
