Product Overview

One catalyst chemistry, multiple substrate architectures.

Youveim® E100–E107 electrodes are engineered to help researchers change the physical electrode platform without rebuilding the entire catalyst system. The same NiFeOx concept can be supplied on stainless steel, titanium or nickel in fiber-paper, foam or woven-cloth formats.

This modular approach supports faster screening of contact resistance, electrolyte compatibility, gas release, compression behavior, flexibility and long-duration stability across alkaline electrochemical devices.

e⁻

Direct Conductive Path

The catalyst is integrated with a metallic current-collecting network to reduce unnecessary interlayers.

O₂

Open Gas Pathways

Porous and woven substrates provide connected channels for electrolyte access and bubble evacuation.

Format Flexibility

Select thin cloth, fiber paper or 3D foam according to cell geometry, compression and flow-field design.

System Integration

Available for coupon testing, custom cutting, MEA preparation and electrolyzer fixture matching.

Why This Platform

Designed for experimental speed and engineering relevance.

Move from basic OER screening to integrated alkaline or AEM electrolyzer evaluation using a consistent product family and comparable catalyst-loading options.

Standard sizes range from 1 × 1 cm to 20 × 20 cm, with non-standard cutting and processing available.

Substrate Comparison

Compare E100–E107 by structure and use case.

The table is a selection guide for relative positioning. Final choice should be confirmed against electrolyte, temperature, pressure, compression, flow-field and lifetime requirements.

Interface Options

Select the suffix that matches the experiment.

Every substrate series can be configured through the product suffix system, allowing the catalyst–electrolyte interface or current-collector surface to be adapted to the target device.

N

Nafion® General-Purpose Type

A practical reference configuration for general electrocatalysis and comparative OER testing.

  • General laboratory screening
  • Useful control configuration
  • Broad experimental familiarity
A

Anion-Ionomer Type

Designed for alkaline and AEM environments where an OH⁻-conducting interfacial phase is preferred.

  • AEM water electrolysis
  • Alkaline catalyst layers
  • MEA-oriented anode structures
T

PTFE Hydrophobic Type

A hydrophobic interface option for gas management, bubble detachment and water-distribution studies.

  • High-rate gas evolution
  • Hydrophobicity screening
  • Two-phase transport studies
G

Au-Coated Upgrade

An Au-coated metal-substrate option for improved contact behavior and demanding interface-stability studies.

  • Long-duration operation
  • Oxidation-sensitive contact zones
  • Custom quotation required
Application Areas

Built for research cells and integrated electrolyzer workflows.

Choose a substrate architecture according to the role of the electrode in the device, not only according to catalyst chemistry.

Alkaline & AEM Water Electrolysis

Use nickel-based fiber paper, foam or cloth for anode development, catalyst-layer screening and fixture-level performance evaluation. Titanium or stainless-steel platforms can support comparative studies and specialized interface requirements.

AEMWEALK / AWEOER ANODEMEA DEVELOPMENTSTACK FIXTURES

OER Benchmarking

Compare catalyst loading, binder chemistry, substrate topology and geometric area using a consistent electrode family.

CO₂ Electrolysis Anode Support

Pair the NiFeOx oxygen-evolution electrode with a suitable cathode architecture in alkaline or anion-exchange systems.

Long-Term Interface Studies

Evaluate contact stability, substrate oxidation, compression and electrolyte exposure with optional Au-coated upgrades.

Interactive Price Selector

Choose a model, loading, size and quantity.

Prices are reference values in USD per piece. Au-coated models and non-standard configurations require a separate quotation.

Selection Workflow

Four decisions lead to the right electrode.

Share the operating conditions together with the requested physical format to reduce iteration during quotation and engineering review.

01

Define the Device

Specify OER test cell, AEM electrolyzer, alkaline fixture, CO₂ electrolyzer anode or stack-level use.

02

Select the Substrate

Choose metal chemistry and architecture based on conductivity, corrosion, compression and gas-management needs.

03

Select the Interface

Choose N, A, T or G according to electrolyte chemistry, ion transport and contact-stability requirements.

04

Confirm the Format

Provide catalyst loading, size, quantity, cutting tolerance, active area and any MEA-processing request.

FAQ

Common product and ordering questions.

Use these answers as a starting point; final recommendations depend on the complete electrochemical and mechanical operating conditions.

What do the N, A, T and G suffixes mean?

N uses a Nafion® binder, A uses an anion-exchange ionomer, T uses a PTFE-based hydrophobic interface, and G identifies an Au-coated substrate upgrade.

Which models are most relevant to alkaline or AEM electrolysis?

Nickel-based E103, E104 and E106 are practical starting points. The A suffix is intended for anion-conducting interface matching, while the final selection should also consider cell compression, flow field and electrode thickness.

Why do Au-coated products show “Quote”?

The Au-coated configuration depends on substrate, coating specification, dimensions, quantity, masking and processing requirements, so it is confirmed on a project basis.

Can non-standard dimensions and catalyst loadings be supplied?

Yes. Provide the target size, active area, NiFeOx loading, substrate, quantity, cutting method, fixture geometry and operating conditions for review.

Are the prices shown final transaction prices?

No. They are reference prices in USD per piece. Bulk purchasing, custom processing, taxes, logistics and project-specific requirements should be confirmed before ordering.

Can the electrodes be integrated into an MEA or electrolyzer fixture?

Cutting, electrode matching, MEA-related processing and electrolyzer-fixture support can be discussed based on membrane type, active area, sealing structure and target operating conditions.
