Iridium-Coated Titanium PTL – Optimized for PEM Electrolysis

Designed for high-performance PEM electrolyzers, our iridium-coated titanium PTLs combine a high-porosity substrate with a binder-free, ultra-uniform iridium catalyst layer. Using a proprietary impaction-assisted spark ablation technique, we deliver coatings that are durable, nano-structured, and scalable. The result is a highly stable electrode platform suitable for both industrial electrolysis and advanced electrochemical research.

Key Features

  • Uniform iridium coating using spark ablation — no binders, no solvents

  • Nano-structured catalyst layer for maximum surface area and activity

  • High porosity titanium PTL base

  • Exceptional corrosion resistance in OER environments

  • Fully compatible with most PEM MEA stacks and test setups

Specifications

  • Substrate: Titanium porous transport layer (PTL)

  • Coating material: Iridium

  • Coating method: Impaction-assisted Spark Ablation

  • Electrode thickness: 250 µm ± 5 µm

  • Porosity: 30% to 80%

  • Operating temperature: RT to 120°C

  • Standard dimensions: 1x1 cm, 2x2 cm, 2.5x2.5 cm, 3x3 cm, 5x5 cm, 10x10 cm, 15x15 cm

  • Iridium loading: 0.1 mg/cm², 0.2 mg/cm², 0.3 mg/cm², 0.4 mg/cm², 0.8 mg/cm², 1.0 mg/cm²

  • Compatibility: PEM Electrolyzers, CO₂RR, N₂RR, and similar advanced electrochemical systems

  • Supplier: VSParticle B.V., The Netherlands

Applications & Use Cases

  • PEM Water Electrolysis (anode side) – at lab scale and industrial current densities

  • High-current-density systems – including CO₂RR and N₂RR setups

  • Custom electrochemical R&D – where flexible dimensions and iridium loading matter

  • MEA prototyping & benchmarking – ideal for catalyst layer studies

  • Stack component integration – in commercial electrolyzer design workflows

Customization Options

  • Custom iridium loading: from low (0.1 mg/cm²) to high (1.0 mg/cm²)

  • Sheet size: we offer trimming to non-standard formats (e.g., 2.2×2.2 cm) at no extra charge

  • Coating service: send us your own titanium PTLs and we’ll apply the iridium coating

  • Batch-to-batch consistency guaranteed using our spark ablation technology
