Meet CLEANHYPRO Partner Industrie De Nora: Pioneering Catalysts for Alkali Water Electrolysis
Industrie De Nora contributes cutting-edge knowledge and development expertise to the CLEANHYPRO project. We focus on advancing new catalysts for Alkali Water Electrolysis (AWE), leveraging our strong foundation in DSA® electrodes. Our work involves formulating these catalysts into a refined ink, which is then sent to Fraunhofer IFAM for electrode manufacturing using their Pilot Line. This direct collaboration is essential for interpreting electrochemical data from testing, helping us move new catalyst materials from lab scale to final stack integration.
A Highlight of Industrie De Nora Industrie De Nora is a pioneer in technologies for sustainable energy and water treatment, renowned globally for supplying electrodes that are critical to industrial electrochemical processes.
Role in CLEANHYPRO Our primary role is at the heart of materials innovation for AWE. By studying and developing new catalyst formulations, we are directly addressing the need for highly efficient and durable components. Our close collaboration within the CLEANHYPRO Showcase ensures that the performance of these new catalysts is validated by precise electrochemical data obtained through rigorous testing, supporting the overall goal of clean hydrogen production.
