Core Advantages
The high-purity Iridium coating provides a robust protective layer, preventing the titanium substrate from forming a resistive oxide layer (passivation) in the harsh, acidic environments of PEM electrolyzers.
With an optimized Iridium loading (up to 5 mg/cm²), our foam titanium offers a high specific surface area, maximizing the contact between the catalyst and the electrolyte to lower the OER overpotential.
The 70% porosity and controlled pore size (100–500 µm) facilitate efficient bubble release and rapid electrolyte supply, minimizing mass transfer losses even at high current densities.
Using advanced electroplating technology, the Iridium atoms are firmly bonded to the Titanium skeleton, ensuring zero peeling and long-term stability during thousands of hours of operation.
