Research Center Profile
The team has established a comprehensive layout covering the design, preparation, testing, simulation and industrialization of key component materials for hydrogen energy. It is committed to developing high-end proton exchange membrane products and integrated membrane-electrode assemblies of membrane and catalyst, breaking foreign monopolies over key materials for fuel cells and water electrolysis for hydrogen production.
Core Technologies
1. Proton Exchange Membrane
With precisely controllable thickness ranging from 5 μm to 500 μm and support for mass production, the membrane can meet application requirements for both fuel cells and water electrolysis hydrogen production, with an output value reaching RMB 90 million. When deployed in hydrogen fuel cells, it achieves a power density up to 1.1 W/cm², outperforming DuPont Nafion®, GORESELECT® and Asahi Glass Flemion® proton exchange membranes.
2. Integrated Membrane-Electrode Assembly
Adopting self-developed composite proton exchange membranes and low-noble-metal-loaded catalysts, a series of integrated electrode products with multi-scale molecular and inter-facial strong interactions are constructed. For hydrogen fuel cell applications, its performance surpasses products such as those from DuPont of the United States, with durability ≥10 000 hours and a power density of 1.4 W/cm². For water electrolysis hydrogen-production applications, it enables stable operation for 60 000 hours at a current density of 2 A/cm² @ 2 V, delivering prominent advantages in cost and durability.
