New Zealand’s first deep-tech Hydrogen startup.
What we do
We believe innovative manufacturing approaches are needed to support the transition to a sustainable and low-carbon world. Our Catalyst Coated Membrane products have been developed to support this goal through the creation of a high performing CCM, with the lowest known catalyst loading for CCM.
Catalyst coated membrane with the lowest known Iridium loading.
Product
At bspkl we specialise in developing catalyst coated membrane solutions to overcome catalyst supply challenges and manufacturing bottlenecks.
Catalyst Coated Membrane for PEM Electrolysis
25x less catalyst materials & bespoke catalyst formulation
0.122 mg/cm2 total PGM catalyst loading
0.089 mg/cm2 of Iridium
We can develop new catalyst mixes or doping formulations to best meet your performance criteria. We have demonstrated CCM with Platinum, Iridium and Ruthenium catalyst materials
Flexible catalyst layer
Our products don’t demonstrate delamination of the catalyst layer from the membrane.
Direct deposit on membrane, means our CCM doesn’t require a carbon support structure layer
The flexible catalyst layer is not susceptible to cracking
High performing and durable CCM
We are targeting a CCM performance profile of
-
Current densities of above 1 A/cm2 at 2.1V, with R&D underway to increase the performance to 2 A/cm2
-
Degradation rates of <3µV/h
Reliable, scalable and sustainable supply of CCM
As demand for your electrolyser systems increases, our ability supply can scale with you. Our approach to breakthrough manufacturing completely re-thinks how CCM can be manufactured. By utilizing technology from the semiconductor industry, we can produce CCM rapidly and through a highly scalable approach.
