If the catalytic activity of iridium is determined by the element itself, utilizing a single atom as the active site, as opposed to a cluster of particles, would minimize the material required to achieve the desired catalytic performance. Furthermore, initial findings indicate that this efficiency does not come at the expense of effectiveness: single-atom iridium catalysts have demonstrated high levels of activity for the anodic reaction in PEM electrolysis, surpassing the performance typically achieved with nanoparticle-based catalysts. https://vsparticle.com/blog/revolutionizing-pem-electrolysers-reducing-iridium-loadings-by-10-times-using-vsparticles-nanoprinting-technologyhttps://vsparticle.com/blog/revolutionizing-pem-electrolysers-reducing-iridium-loadings-by-10-times-using-vsparticles-nanoprinting-technology#commentsTue, 09 Jan 2024 10:23:49 +0000https://vsparticle.com/blog/revolutionizing-pem-electrolysers-reducing-iridium-loadings-by-10-times-using-vsparticles-nanoprinting-technologyVSParticle, in collaboration with CLEANHYPRO, is enhancing its pilot production line to manufacture catalyst layers with iridium nanoparticles, aiming to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of green hydrogen production. Iridium, crucial for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysis, is rare and costly.
