Add to compare

De Noras Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE) Electrodes Coatings are designed to optimize the efficiency and performance of hydrogen production through water electrolysis. These coatings reduce stack dimensions and CAPEX by increasing operating current density, improve cell efficiency and OPEX by reducing cell voltage, and enhance direct coupling with renewable energy sources. The coatings are tailored for various electrolyzer architectures and are engineered to achieve the lowest Total Cost of Hydrogen (TCO) through reduced plant footprint and optimized power consumption. De Nora offers a range of electrode coatings, including AENR Anodes and NRG Cathodes, which provide significant energy savings and resistance to reversal currents, making them ideal for high-performance AWE systems.

Use Cases

  • Hydrogen production via alkaline water electrolysis
  • Energy storage (power-to-power systems)
  • Renewable energy integration and grid balancing
  • Mobility via fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV)
  • Chemical production (Power-to-Chemicals: ammonia, methanol, fuels)
  • Decarbonization of industrial processes and hard-to-abate sectors
  • Water treatment, chlorine, electronics, marine, etc. → company-level only
