Congratulations to our co-founder and chairman Xile Hu for being once again listed as a highly cited researcher in the world.
Congratulations to our PI, Xile Hu, for being recognized in the prestigious 2024 list of Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate. Since 2017, he has consistently been acknowledged as one of the most highly cited researchers in the field of Chemistry 😀
Exciting results published from Prof. Hu's group at EPFL showing that by using NovaMea's AEM, an AEM water electrolysis can be operated at an ultrahigh current density of 10 A/cm2 for more than 800 hours. In general, the electrolyzers using our AEMs have 10,000 times higher stability than the electrolyzers using other AEMs at this current density. These findings are yet another demonstration of the superior properties of our membranes.

The idea of this paper is meant to be provocative: Can and should we run water electrolysis at an ultrahigh current density such as 10 A/cm2? PEM and AEM electrolyzers operate at 1.5-3 A/cm2, which is already 5-10 times higher than the classic alkaline electrolyzers. In this study, we show that using a best-in-class membrane, the operational life time of an AEM electrolyzer running at 10 A/cm2 can be increased by 10,000 times. Coupled with interfacial engineering, we can achieve operation at this current density for 800 hours. Operating an electrolyzer at ultrahigh current densities is very demanding for both materials and devices, and 800 hours are still shy of the 10000+ hours of stability a practical device needs. But the rewards are a huge boost in hydrogen production rate and a great means to consume green electricity when it overloads the grid. For the moment, our paper is simply raising the question rather than providing the answer. EPFL Chemistry NovaMea Hu's lab at EPFL Angewandte Chemie
Our CEO, Dr. Xingyu Wu was recently invited to speak at the prestigious EMEA 2024 workshop, an annual high-level meeting in the field of ion exchange membranes. We have new friends and are building new client bases with some leading AEM water electrolyzer developers.
At the highly prestigious EMEA 2024 Workshop (Ion Exchange Membranes for Energy Applications) in Bad Zwischenahn, Germany, I had the honor of presenting NovaMea's efforts in developing AEMs and Electrodes for advancing green hydrogen production. It was a truly pleasure to meeting all the speakers and participants from acedemia and industry. Very excited to discuss and explore various potential applications of our Branion membrane and electrodes. Many thanks to German Aerospace Center (DLR) for organising such a successful event.
