DiffuCarb™ E135 Nano Nickel-Carbon Paper (Water Electrolysis Electrode)

The DiffuCarb™ E135 Nano Nickel-Carbon Paper is specifically designed for alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production and offers high cost-effectiveness.

The carbon paper substrate uses our standard A330R raw carbon paper, but it can also be customized based on customer preferences, including options like Toray (030/060/090/120/050/1.1), AvCarb (MGL190/280/370), CP-H450/H850, platinum-coated carbon paper, titanium fiber paper, nickel fiber paper, and platinum-coated titanium fiber paper.

In both Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) water electrolysis and Alkaline (ALK) water electrolysis systems, nano nickel-carbon paper electrodes are a critical choice due to their high catalytic activity and corrosion resistance. To optimize electrode performance in various applications, selecting the appropriate carbon paper type and catalyst binder is essential. Below are the descriptions and advantages of using A330R raw carbon paper, A330T hydrophobic carbon paper, A330P platinum-coated carbon paper, and different binders (Nafion and PTFE).

1. DiffuCarb™ E135 Nano Nickel-Carbon Paper (Water Electrolysis Electrode) with A330R Raw Carbon Paper + Nafion Binder

Role of Nafion:

High Ion Conductivity: Nafion, as a proton exchange membrane material, has excellent ion conductivity, especially in AEM and ALK water electrolysis systems. It effectively promotes the conduction of OH⁻ ions, enhancing the electrochemical reaction rate and current density.
Stable Catalyst Distribution: The use of Nafion binder helps to evenly distribute the nano nickel catalyst on A330R raw carbon paper, ensuring a stable electrochemical reaction zone and improving catalyst utilization.
Operating Temperature: Nafion's chemical stability makes it suitable for moderate temperature operating conditions, ideal for conventional AEM and ALK water electrolysis systems, effectively maintaining electrode activity.

2. DiffuCarb™ E135T Nano Nickel-Carbon Paper (Hydrophobic Interface, Water Electrolysis Electrode) with A330T Hydrophobic Carbon Paper + PTFE Binder

Role of PTFE:

Improved Electrode Durability: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is ideal for high pH conditions due to its exceptional chemical inertness and corrosion resistance. Using PTFE as a binder prevents excessive oxidation of the nano nickel catalyst and the carbon paper substrate, extending the electrode's service life.
High-Temperature Suitability: PTFE's thermal stability allows it to withstand high temperatures (up to 150°C), making it particularly suitable for high-temperature water electrolysis applications. In such conditions, PTFE binder helps improve electrolysis efficiency and prevent electrode material degradation due to temperature rise.
Hydrophobic Properties: The combination of A330T hydrophobic carbon paper and PTFE's hydrophobicity aids in effective management of water and gas distribution, preventing gas bubbles (such as oxygen and hydrogen) from accumulating on the electrode surface, ensuring continuous high-efficiency reactions. This water management feature is critical for preventing gas buildup that could hinder electrolysis performance.

3. DiffuCarb™ E135PT Nano Nickel-Platinum Carbon Paper (Water Electrolysis Electrode) with A330P Platinum-Coated Carbon Paper + Nafion Binder

Advantages of Platinum-Coated Carbon Paper:

Enhanced Conductivity: A330P platinum-coated carbon paper significantly increases electronic conductivity and electrocatalytic activity by applying a layer of platinum on the carbon paper surface. The platinum layer effectively reduces internal resistance, increases current density, and improves electrolysis efficiency.
Improved Catalytic Performance: Platinum's high catalytic activity enhances the overall reaction performance of the nano nickel-carbon paper electrode, enabling more efficient oxygen and hydrogen evolution during water electrolysis.
Nafion's High Ion Conductivity: When used in combination with platinum-coated carbon paper, Nafion significantly boosts the electrode's ion conductivity, ensuring effective OH⁻ ion transfer during electrolysis. This configuration allows high-efficiency reactions at higher current densities and lower overpotentials.

Comparative Summary and Application Scenarios

A330R Raw Carbon Paper + Nafion Binder: Suitable for medium-temperature AEM and ALK water electrolysis systems, providing good ion conductivity and stable catalyst distribution. Ideal for conventional laboratory research and small-to-medium scale hydrogen production.
A330T Hydrophobic Carbon Paper + PTFE Binder: Ideal for high-temperature and high-current-density water electrolysis operations. PTFE's thermal stability and chemical inertness significantly enhance electrode durability and stability, making it particularly suited for industrial-scale hydrogen production and applications in harsh environments, such as wastewater treatment.
A330P Platinum-Coated Carbon Paper + Nafion Binder: Suitable for high-performance and fast-reaction water electrolysis systems. This combination's high conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance make it ideal for efficient hydrogen production and applications that require rapid reaction rates.

Conclusion

Nano nickel-carbon paper electrodes in AEM and ALK water electrolysis applications can optimize electrochemical performance by selecting the appropriate carbon paper (A330R raw carbon paper, A330T hydrophobic carbon paper, A330P platinum-coated carbon paper) and suitable binders (Nafion or PTFE) to meet different operational conditions. Using PTFE binder enhances electrode durability and stability in high-temperature and corrosive environments, while Nafion binder provides excellent ion conductivity and strong catalyst adhesion, ensuring efficient and stable water electrolysis performance. Selecting the right electrode configuration based on specific application scenarios can effectively improve the overall efficiency and performance of water electrolysis systems.
