Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWSStack Scale up - Industrialization PEM electrolysis
Term: 01.04.2021 - 31.03.2025
Abstract
Industrialization of electrolyser stack production at the level of cell components and stacks through an industrialization-capable, product-oriented concept, an improvement of the technical-economic properties and the development of industrial production processes
IMWS research topics
Coordinated, cross-scale, 2D and 3D microstructural characterization and evaluation of active materials and catalyst-coated membranes to identify relevant structures and degradation mechanisms
Focus on
Catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) and the 3dimensional structure of catalysts and their change during operation
Methods
SEM, TEM, EDX, CT, XRD, XPS, ToF-SIMS, AFM, ESEM ... - Development of the methodology is part of the project
