Production and electrochemical screening of precious metal-free catalysts including their electrochemical properties in laboratory operation, as well as the development of scaled production processes for potential catalyst candidates.

Sustainable and scalable manufacturing methods for AEM electrodes, e.g. by electrodeposition, ultrasonic spraying, 3D printing of materials, cold or hot pressing for the most efficient membrane electrode assemblies.

Integration of membrane electrode assemblies into electrolyser full cells and stacks, as well as the analysis of individual components to avoid critical elements and determine performance characteristics.

Implementation of internationally standardised protocols and long-term stability tests in electrolysers of different sizes to bridge the gap between research and industry.

Analysing usable water resources, the minimum required and desired water quality for electrolysis, adapted treatment processes and linking the various stakeholders.
