A project to demonstrate the capabilities of solid oxide fuel cells and systems that can produce hydrogen at $2 per kilogram.

Development of a photovoltaic device using perovskite materials to convert solar energy directly into hydrogen fuel through water splitting.

A nature-inspired catalyst mechanism developed by Canadelectrochim that mimics plant leaf self-cleaning properties using microscale and nanoscale surface structures to enable oxygen reduction without platinum.

A rooftop-installable device made from 3D-printed commodity plastic coated with aluminum that produces hydrogen through artificial photosynthesis. Features V-shaped reaction channels with reflective coatings that capture sunlight from multiple angles without requiring solar tracking.

A polymer electrolyte used in PEMFC that selectively conducts hydrogen ions while blocking electrons, enabling efficient electrochemical reactions. Currently the dominant commercial electrolyte for PEMFC applications.

A novel catalytic material for water splitting hydrogen production, composed of iron and dinickel phosphides deposited on commercially available nickel foam. The catalyst performs both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, reducing energy requirements and production costs.
