Description
40cm² surface area is designed for Proton Technologies 40cm² electrochemical hydrogen compressor. This electrode can counteract as both anode or cathode within this EHC and is to be used as an benchmark electrode for R&D purposes.
PEM components offers a 40cm² Gas Diffusion Electrode (GDE). The electrode surface is coated with a Pt/C (50%wtPt) catalyst onto SGL Sigracet 28BC gas diffusion layer (GDL). It is mainly used for as an electrodes for electrohemical compression or purification. A variety of loadings are offered, lower loadings are often used for anodes of compression cells or cathode for purification cells. Higher loadings are used for anodes for purification cells.
Apart from these standard electrodes, PEM components also offers tailored solutions. It has all production equipment in house as well as the required expertise therefore, it is possible to specify your desired loading, to incooperate your own catalyst material or even to switch out GDL to your preferred GDL. Please contact us for the possibilities to tailor make your GDE’s

How to use
Please use powder free nitril gloves when handling electrodes to prevent potential contamination. Avoid contact with volatile materials or enriched oxygen atmosfears without proper safety precautions.rnrnThere are 2 sides on the GDE, namely:rnu003culu003ern tu003cliu003eThe grey-ish fibre sideu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eThe black smooth sideu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernThe black smooth side should face the membrane as it is the catalyst coated side.rnrnThe electrodes are 235 micrometer thick and can be compressed to enhance contact. PEM components provides these spacers in the form of border material.
