TFP Hydrogen will be launching a new range of high performance, high efficiency and cost effective catalysts for use in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysers at the Hydrogen Tech Expo in Houston from 14-15 June. These materials, along with TFPH’s specialist coatings are designed to increase the efficiency and lifetime of PEM electrolysers, helping to reduce the long term cost of green hydrogen generation.
TFP Hydrogen is well established as a leading supplier and developer of coatings for PEM electrolyser components such as porous transport layers (PTLs) and bipolar plates. The new catalysts build on this extensive knowledge and expertise in formulation and optimisation; resulting in a catalyst range that delivers enhanced performance of the PEM electrolyser system, proven over 10,000’s of hours. In addition to the development of these new materials TFP Hydrogen has also invested in scaling up their production. The increase in catalyst manufacturing capacity and capability enables significantly larger scale manufacture of these new materials and supply in multi kilogram orders, supporting the rapid growth rate of the hydrogen sector.
The new high efficiency anode catalysts are based on iridium (Ir) and ruthenium (Ru) and include both IrO2 and IrRuO2 formulations, they have been designed for use in the manufacture of Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCMs) and are highly dispersible into inks for ease of use in this application. The catalysts offer a number of benefits to a customer’s system, as well as competitiveness on price; they enable the system to operate at a low voltage, improve long term durability and ensure high performance. In short, these catalysts reduce the cost of generating green hydrogen by increasing long term efficiency, and this facilitation of low carbon technologies is fundamental to our company philosophy.
In addition to the durability, performance and cost benefits, TFP Hydrogen Products’ also offer the capability to design and specify the optimum catalyst and coating formulation for your application. We have a highly experienced team of specialists in chemistry, electrochemistry, electrochemical engineering and materials science and welcome the opportunity of customer collaboration to design a system specific composition which achieves the best possible long term performance and efficiency.
To find out more about our catalysts, electrode coatings and capability visit the TFP Hydrogen team on booth 95 at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Houston TX from 14-15 June. Or contact us at [email protected] – we would welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you.
About Technical Fibre Products: & TFP Hydrogen Products:
Technical Fibre Products (TFP) produce advanced materials that make a difference; enabling world class innovators in the development of solutions for a cleaner, greener and safer world.
Part of James Cropper PLC, TFP is a global business, with sites in the UK and USA and a worldwide sales and support network. TFP’s materials provide solutions across a wide range of markets such as aerospace, defence, automotive and construction, as well as in renewable energy, where there is a strong focus on enabling green technologies, such as fuel cells, green hydrogen generation, wind energy and electric vehicles.
Growth in the renewable energy sector and the hydrogen economy is of strategic importance in TFP’s vision to enable a cleaner, greener future. In the next 5 years the aim is for the majority of sales to come from applications that support the Global drive to net zero carbon emissions, enabling the energy transition. TFP specialises in enabling our customers to develop market leading solutions, in areas such as PEM water electrolysis, hydrogen fuel cells, wind energy and carbon capture. To facilitate this, the company has strengthened our offering in the rapidly growing Hydrogen sector with the acquisition of TFP Hydrogen Products in 2021. TFP Hydrogen produces coated components for PEM water electrolysis which reduce the cost of producing Green Hydrogen, a critical part of the global transition to sustainable energy. In addition, TFP’s materials not only reduce the cost of hydrogen generation, they also facilitate it’s use as our nonwovens are used as Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) substrate in many of the world’s hydrogen fuel cells.
TFP pride ourselves on being the experts in our field; developing and manufacturing high quality, specialised materials that can be designed to meet a customer’s specific needs. Our portfolio includes high performance nonwovens, coatings and catalysts, all of which are designed to add value by increasing performance, system efficiency, durability, adding functionality or aiding fabrication.
