SubsidieMeestersscaling sustainable Anodes for efficIent water ElectroLysis
ARIEL aims to validate scalable cobalt-based anodes for water electrolysis to enhance efficiency and support gigawatt deployment, addressing carbon emission targets.
Projectdetails
Introduction
ARIEL (scaling sustainable Anodes for efficIent water ElectroLysis) seeks to demonstrate and validate a scalable process for the synthesis, activation, and implementation of non-platinum-group catalysts for water electrolysis. This is a bottleneck on the path to the projected gigawatt deployment of this technology that is needed to meet carbon emission targets.
Previous Work
We have previously demonstrated, at the lab-scale, the feasibility and potential of cobalt-based anodes as an alternative to iridium in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysers (PEMWE). We achieved activity and stability at PEMWE-relevant current densities (Science 384, 1373, 2024).
Project Goals
ARIEL aims to build on these results by translating original, non-scalable synthesis and manufacturing protocols into scalable processes that retain catalytic activity and stability. The specific goals include:
- Demonstrating a process compatible with kg-synthesis and activation.
- Prototyping electrodes up to 400 cm².
- Externally validating these prototypes as a prelude to the potential commercial exploitation of this invention.
Process Assessment
ARIEL will further assess the sensitivity of the different parts of the process on reliability. Additionally, we will perform scale-informed technoeconomic and lifecycle analysis to evaluate different exploitation schemes.
