Innovation Project

NextH2

Hydrogen production

The project partners Forschungszentrum Jülich, De Nora Deutschland and ThyssenKrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers concentrate on optimising the core element of an electrolyzer, the cell. Those involved are looking at how the thickness of the partition walls between the electrodes of a cell can be cut. If these so-called diaphragms are thinner, the charged particles can flow better during the electrolysis. In addition, the experts optimize the electrodes by testing different coatings. Finally, try the best combination of optimized cell components and electrodes and diaphragms. In this way, the experts would like to increase the performance of the procedures and lower the costs.
