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