As a global precious metal chemical company we are well placed to work with suppliers to make the best PEM catalysts available on the market. Iridium is the ideal metal for use as the PEM electrolyser anode catalyst and is the most active for the OER (oxygen evolution reaction). Platinum is the ideal metal for use is as the PEM fuel cell cathode catalyst and is the best choice for the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction). Our team of scientists continue to develop new catalysts to aid the growth of the Hydrogen Economy looking at ways to reduce the amount of PGM required (reducing cost), improve efficiency and extend durability.
