Electro Trail Europe
22-12-2022
Young professionals, students and PhD candidates were invited to participate in ELECTE - ELECtro Trail Europe, a scenario building competition being co-organized by VoltaChem and Industrielinqs, to submit a white paper on the most promising routes for electrification and electrochemistry over the next 12 years.
Materials Challenge for Hydrogen Production Webinar Recording
08-11-2022
On the 27th of October 2022, VoltaChem and its founding partner TNO organized an open webinar as a part of the European Hydrogen Week 2022 (an initiative of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership). The webinar focused on the Materials Challenge for Hydrogen Production.
A factor of 200 reduction of iridium catalyst for PEM electrolysers is demonstrated to be possible keeping on average 1/3 of performance
24-10-2022
Researchers of the Dutch applied technology institute TNO and TNO Holst, developed in the VoltaChem program an advanced electrocatalyst which uses a two order of magnitude lower amount of iridium and hereby outperforming the European Clean Hydrogen roadmap target on the usage of critical raw materials as catalyst. Initial lab experiments showed that hardly any degradation occurred after short acce
Towards industrial-scale Solid Oxide Electrolyzers: TNO achieves increase in cell size by up to 5 times
01-07-2022
The Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) team at TNO has made an important step towards the application of the technology in an industrial environment by realizing the fabrication and testing of solid oxide cells with a cell size 4 to 5 times larger than the current industry standards.
HERSO: Development of a Highly Efficient and Robust Solid Oxide Electrolyzer system for hydrogen production
13-06-2022
VoltaChem, its founding partner TNO and the industrial partner Hygear initiated the HERSO project to accelerate the integration of Solid Oxide Electrolyzer (SOE) for hydrogen production in the process industry. Through this project, a novel concept of a highly efficient pressurized SOE stack technology and a simplified balance-of-plant (BoP) are aimed to achieve a cost reduction of the overall SOE
