Our nanotechnology platform serves as a foundational building block for next-generation hydrogen technologies—enhancing efficiency, durability, and scalability for energy, transport and chemical industries. We enable real-world performance gains in electrolysis, fuel cells, and Power-to-X.
PEM FUEL CELLS
Traditional hydrogen catalysts rely on platinum, which can comprise 60% of a fuel cell’s production cost. We’ve invented and patented a process that cuts platinum usage by 60% without sacrificing performance or durability. This efficiency also shrinks the fuel cell stack by 30%. Finally, our optimized technology reduces fuel cell production costs by 45%.
Fuel cells are well-suited for heavy-duty transport like trucks and aircraft due to their capability for long-range operation and rapid refuelling.
AEM & PEM ELECTROLYZERS
Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers use a solid polymer membrane that selectively conducts protons to efficiently split water into high-purity hydrogen and oxygen, operating at low temperatures with fast response times ideal for fluctuating renewable energy sources. Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzers transport hydroxide ions through an alkaline membrane, enabling the use of non-precious metal catalysts and offering a potentially lower-cost alternative while still providing flexibility and scalability. Both technologies support green hydrogen production, with PEM known for higher efficiency and maturity, and AEM gaining traction due to lower capital costs and reduced reliance on rare metals.
AEM Electrolysers are usually used in small-to-medium scale green hydrogen production, distributed energy systems, and industrial sites seeking lower CAPEX options. PEM Electrolysers are used for grid balancing and energy storing, mobility (e.g., H2 refueling stations), industrial hydrogen supply (e.g., chemical, steel), and integration with intermittent renewable energy sources.
Our patented nanotech platform reduces Pt use by up to 90% in PEM or AEM electrolysers.The reduction in total electrode area translates to cost savings of ~15% for electrolyser stacks.
POWER-TO-X
Power-to-X refers to the process of converting energy from sources like solar or wind into other forms (X). One of the most direct applications is power-to-hydrogen through water electrolysis. However, it can also involve converting CO2 to green methanol, hydrogen to green ammonia, and other catalytic processes to produce synthetic, carbon-neutral fuels.
In addition to ReCatalyst’s existing activities on water electrolysis, ReCatalyst is also a beneficiary in a Horizon Europe funded project AlchemHy that is exploring alternative routes for basic chemicals production such as green methanol and green ammonia using hydrogen as a feedstock.
GETTERS FOR OPTOELECTRONICS
Getters are commonly used in hermetic packaging for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. These materials are designed to react with gas species present, creating a chemical reaction. They are a proven solution for targeting specific outgassing contaminants such as CO2, hydrogen, and oxygen. For example, CO2 can affect laser power and cause distortion.
