Porous composite separators are traditional materials commonly used in mature electrochemical technologies such as alkaline water electrolyzers and fuel cells. These separators play a crucial role in maintaining the physical separation between electrodes while enabling efficient ion transport through their porous structure. Made from a combination of polymers and inorganic materials, porous composite separators offer a balance of mechanical strength, ion conductivity, and thermal stability.
Ion exchange membranes and polymers enable the development of next-generation environmental technologies. These materials have a hydrocarbon backbone, which enables performance and life cycle improvements across the industry in fuel cells and hydrogen electrolysis, while making them far less impactful on the environment than common fluorinated materials. By using advanced stabilization techniques, they are able to compete with the most robust of alternatives.
Hydrocarbon membranes are significantly tougher than competitive products leading to a longer service life and reduced lifetime cost. Unlike their proton exchange counterparts, alkaline based anion exchange membrane systems can operate without the use of precious metals such as platinum and iridium, making them way more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Krayden is proud to present the ONLY High performance non-fluorinated material in the market.
