INTELEC project aims at developing highly conductive components to sensibly reduce the cost of Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWEs) for green-hydrogen generation, offering innovative solutions. Cold Gas Spray will be employed as the manufacturing tool to produce titanium structured coatings with a double functionality, as protection layer and as flow pattern, using just 40% of the required Ti of a bipolar plate. In addition, hole transport materials will be developed as catalyst supports, allowing the fabrication of ultra-low iridium electrodes, boosting x4 the catalyst utilization and being economically and technically feasible for its implementation at large scale.
INTELEC (TED2021-130461B-I00) is funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through the State Agency of Research (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and the European Union (“NextGenerationEU”/PRTR).
