Stack Scale-up ' Industrialisation PEM Electrolysis

Hydrogen production

The StacIE (Stack Scale-up - Industrialisation PEM Electrolysis) research project aims to increase the efficiency of PEM electrolysis (Proton Exchange Membrane) for the gigawatt scale. By means of thermal spraying and laser cladding, novel coating solutions for corrosion protection of the bipolar plates (BPP) as well as porous conductive transport layers (PTL) with application-specific layer structure are developed. The disruptive use of these coating processes should significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of PEM electrolysis and make it competitive with other electrolysis technologies in the long term.
