Fuel cell technology is revolutionizing the way we think about clean energy, offering efficient and sustainable solutions for a variety of applications. At the heart of this innovation are catalyst-coated membranes (CCM) and the complete membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), essential components that drive the performance and reliability of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells.
Our advanced CCM and MEA products are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern fuel cell stacks and systems. Whether it's for buses, trucks, vessels or stationary applications, our solutions are designed to deliver exceptional durability, efficiency, and lifetime performance.
In partnership with Heraeus Precious Metals, we bring together the best of both worlds: in-depth expertise in precious metal catalysts and our superior layer manufacturing, frame and sealing concept know-how.
Leveraging our mutual extensive R&D, testing, and production expertise, we ensure that each product meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
CCM, and especially the catalyst layers, are critical components for fuel cell systems and catalyst design largely determines the overall system-level performance. Optimization starts with the precious metals catalyst. Decades of experience in catalyst development by our strategic partner Heraeus Precious Metals have led to a stable catalyst configuration with high activity and durability.
This synergetically adds to our advanced manufacturing technology, which creates unique layer structures and catalyst particle size and distribution that enhance the performance in terms of both efficiency and durability, resulting in significant savings in fuel and service costs.
In collaboration with Heraeus Precious Metals, we offer a competitive and empirically proven CCM portfolio that addresses all aspects of commercial and technical competitiveness. Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your PEM fuel cells with performance- and stability-optimized catalysts and electrodes, combined with Heraeus Precious Metals’ expertise in metal management and recycling.
We offer all our high-volume CCM options as membrane electrode assembly (MEA) versions. Our 7-layer MEA7 features catalyst-coated membranes laminated with high-performance gas diffusion layers (GDLs), each incorporating a microporous layer (MPL) on both electrodes. An application-specific sealing concept integrates the complete cell structure into a precision-engineered plastic frame. This advanced assembly ensures easy handling and seamless integration during stack production. Moreover, the unique sealing concept prevents gas crossover and results in superior lifetimes.
Apply the high-volume MEA and enjoy all the benefits of high-performance CCM, combined with lower investment on your side for MEA production equipment. This way, you can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your PEM fuel cell system in three ways:
Our customizable, application-driven CCM is designed based on your input to meet the specific demands of your system, delivering performance where it matters most. Through our proprietary catalyst production process, we achieve low manufacturing costs while maintaining exceptional quality. The result is superior efficiency and an extraordinary lifetime, made possible by highly reactive and long-lasting catalyst layers.
These customizable multi-component assemblies are designed for high-volume production, featuring in-house sealing compounds that ensure long-term protection of the active areas across all MEA layers. Integrated into a frame via a patented lamination process, they offer easy handling and assembly. Our MEA deliver efficient performance under harsh, heavy-duty operating conditions and remain reliable across a wide range of humidity levels, temperatures, and pressures – without compromising operational lifetime.
We combine deep cell and production expertise to deliver customized, cost-effective, and highly efficient MEA solutions. Our goal is to help customers achieve minimal fuel consumption and maintenance costs across all applications.
