Alkaline Stable Organic Cations Incorporated into Rigid Polymer Backbones for Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Thin Films

Recipient: Ecoelectro Inc (PI: Kristina Hugar)

Partners: Cornell University; Carnegie Mellon University

Water Splitting Technology: AEMWE - anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis

Status: Awarded

Abstract: This project will develop new alkaline exchange membrane materials, which will be tested in large-format electrolyzer cells in collaboration with polymer chemistry experts. These new materials will be developed to improve durability to meet DOE targets.
