Hydrogen production

The project partners Forschungszentrum Jülich, De Nora Deutschland and ThyssenKrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers are focusing on optimising the core element of an electrolyser, the cell. The participants are investigating how the thickness of the partitions between the electrodes of a cell can be reduced. If these so-called diaphragms are thinner, the charged particles produced during electrolysis can flow better. In addition, the experts optimise the electrodes by testing different coatings. Then they test the best combination of the optimised cell components, i.e. the electrodes and diaphragms. In this way, the experts hope to increase the performance of the process and reduce costs.
