The ANEMEL team meets in Berlin!
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. Our partner TU Berlin hosted us in the German capital.
Membranes, the heart and soul of our electrolysers
Not all electrolysers need membranes, but ours do. Membranes are central to our devices, both a barrier and a carrier, separating the gases in the anode and the cathode, but letting ions flow freely, thus essential for the electrochemical reactions.
Industry-proof membranes: meet Johan Loccufier
Discover who’s who in the ANEMEL team. Johan Loccufier works at Agfa, in Belgium. Within the ANEMEL project, he is in charge of making sure our membranes are scalable and ready for industrial application.
Ionomer: the “ion-highway” to boost AEM water electrolysers performance
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.
ANEMEL project meets in Ireland!
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.
Functionalised ion exchange membranes: meet Sapir Willdorf-Cohen
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.
Fluorinated “forever chemicals” and where to find them
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.
A model to test electrolysers’ performance before they exist
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.
Who’s who in the ANEMEL team
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.
Electrolysers explained
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.
