A type of liquid-fueled fuel cell that operates at twice the voltage of conventional hydrogen fuel cells and eliminates the need for hydrogen transportation and storage.

A water electrolysis technology that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen while shuttling hydroxide ions through an alkaline polymer membrane. AEMWE combines the cost benefits of traditional alkaline electrolysis with the compactness and efficiency of membrane-based technologies.

A water electrolysis technology that uses a solid polymer membrane to conduct protons. PEM systems traditionally rely on platinum group metals as catalysts.

Research and development of a non-precious-metal catalyst system for anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers, combining a nanoscale heterostructure of two complementary metal phosphides with a nickel-iron anode.

A nanoscale heterostructure composed of two complementary metal phosphides designed to replace platinum in anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers. The cathode operates at industry-level current densities for over 1,000 hours without degradation.
