Our new paper published in Energy & Fuels shows that, in electrolyser design, including an ionomer is a great bonus to increase the performance and that you must also focus on the interactions between layers. This is a study led by TU Berlin and De Nora.
Over two days, the entire consortium held the first plenary meeting of the year to review the work carried out over the past six months. We were hosted by our project coordinator, the University of Galway.
Discover who’s who in the ANEMEL team. Sapir Willdorf-Cohen works at Technion (Israel) as lab engineer, leading the effort to develop functionalised ion exchange membranes, as well as synthesising the membrane itself.
For decades, fluorinated compounds have been used in a variety of products, ubiquitous in our daily lives. However, their extreme resistance to degradation poses risks to human health and the environment. The European Commission has regulated these “forever chemicals” for years, and now scientists seek sustainable alternatives.
Our researcher Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar (EPFL) helps us to understand a recently published paper about the importance of simulated membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) to better understand the efficiency of water electrolysis.
ANEMEL brings together a team of experts with a broad range of backgrounds. Altogether, our consortium will leverage its expertise to develop an electrolyser powered by green energy sources and based on non-critical raw materials.
Get a great overview of the different types of electrolysers – the devices used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Some are closer to market than others; ANEMEL in particular is exploring anion exchange technologies to reduce the reliance on scarce materials and make green hydrogen cheaper.
