Energy Storage Devices: Metal oxide fibers can serve as electrode materials enabling the efficient storage and release of electrical energy in portable electronics and renewable energy systems. Flexible Electronics: Metal oxide fibers can be integrated into flexible electronic devices and compatibility with flexible substrates. Gas Sensors: Metal oxide fibers are commonly employed as sensing elements in gas sensors. Photodetectors: Metal oxide fibers, particularly those with semiconductor properties, are used in photodetectors for detecting light signals in electronic devices. Semiconductor Devices: Metal oxide fibers are suitable for applications in transistors, diodes, sensors, and optoelectronic devices. Reducing critical metal costs in sensors & electronics for consumer products, healthcare & renewable energy
Iridium is often used as an anode catalyst in electrolysis situations where highly corrosive and oxidative conditions are present, such as electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen gas. With hydrogen projected to contribute to lower reliance on fossil fuels, “green hydrogen” produced using renewable electricity sources is projected to need vast amounts of iridium. We have a low-iridium catalyst in commercial testing with a global supplier to the electrolyzer industry. Upon completion of validation, this low-iridium catalyst will be available to the hydrogen & fuel cell industrial sector. A one megawatt electrolyzer uses iridium costing $100,000
