Built to keep the hardware disciplined while the experiment changes.
HXS-0 is a made-to-order AEM water electrolysis cell for electrode, membrane and MEA development. Select the active area with the gasket window, fix the flow field for the test objective and configure anything from a single cell to a 20-cell short stack.
| 1–25 cm² Selectable active area Defined by the gasket window |
1–20 cells Single-cell to short-stack configuration |
| Up to 80 °C Atmospheric operating envelope |
6.6 A/cm² at 2.00 V Measured 4 cm² reference point |
| Active area | Choose 1–25 cm² through the gasket opening. |
| Cell count | Specify a single cell or a short stack of up to 20 cells. |
| Flow field | Single-serpentine is standard; a custom flow field can be reviewed for the test objective. |
| Standard supply | Reusable HXS-0 test-cell hardware. The MEA is not included as standard. |
| Available on request | An MEA set using HXP-an, HXP-ca and a membrane, or an interface reviewed for a third-party MEA. |
| Electrolyte architecture | Anode-side electrolyte circulation with a dry cathode. |
| Measured i-V point | 2.00 V at 6.6 A/cm². |
| Test configuration | 4 cm² active area · HXP-an · 1 M KOH · 80 °C. |
| Interpretation | This is a measured cell result under the stated configuration, not a guaranteed result for every MEA or build. |
| Materials | SUS316L end plates · nickel-based bipolar plates · PTFE gaskets |
| Fluid connections | 1/4" double-ferrule |
| Main fastening | M6 · 5 N·m ×2, then 7 N·m ×2 in a cross pattern |
| Electrode terminals | M4 · 1.5–2.0 N·m |
| Size / weight | 114 × 85.6 × 136 mm / 4 kg for the 25 cm² build |
For a useful technical and commercial response, include:
Start with the test objective. HydroXpand will map it to the active area, stack length and interface configuration before quotation.
Data note: performance depends on the complete MEA, compression, flow field and operating conditions. Request the Rev05 data sheet and the applicable test protocol.
HydroXpand Inc. is a South Korean deep-tech company that develops and manufactures Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) electrodes, cells, stacks, and integrated systems. Founded in 2023 by three KAIST PhDs, we work across catalysts, electrodes, stack architecture, balance-of-plant, and control software to reduce both upfront and lifecycle costs for clean hydrogen production.
Our current portfolio includes iridium-free anodes, low-PGM cathodes, single-cell and short-stack hardware, the HXS-2 2 kW stack, and the HXB-V1 2 kW integrated system. The HXS-30 30 kW pilot stack is under development and validation. HydroXpand products have been supplied to more than 50 customers across 10 countries, and our technology portfolio includes nine patents. The HXB-V1 is supported by a CE Declaration of Conformity.
Our stack architecture is designed so that the durable hardware can be reused while the MEA is replaced, reducing maintenance cost and material waste. Customers can start with laboratory or pilot-scale equipment today and expand through a modular development roadmap toward larger industrial systems.
