Nickel Fiber Framework
A flexible, electrically conductive porous support designed for cutting, punching, compression, lamination, and integration into different cell structures.

A research-grade, ready-to-use porous anode engineered for alkaline oxygen evolution. E103 combines a conductive nickel fiber paper framework with a nanoscale NiFeOx catalyst layer, supporting efficient electrolyte access, gas release, electrical transport, and flexible integration into laboratory cells, AEM electrolyzers, membrane electrode assemblies, and scalable electrochemical platforms.
A pre-fabricated NiFeOx electrode platform that reduces preparation time and provides a consistent starting point for screening, assembly optimization, and scale-up studies.
Youveim® E103 is a spray-coated NiFeOx electrode developed for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline environments. The porous nickel fiber paper acts as both the conductive current-collecting framework and the mechanical support for the catalyst layer. Its interconnected fiber network promotes electrolyte penetration, electron transport, and the release of oxygen bubbles generated during operation.
The deposited nanoscale NiFeOx layer provides abundant electrochemically active sites and is suitable for researchers evaluating alkaline water electrolysis, anion-exchange-membrane electrolysis, catalyst-layer interfaces, electrode compression, mass-transfer behavior, and long-duration operating stability. Compared with preparing each electrode from raw catalyst powder, E103 offers a more direct route to repeatable cell assembly and rapid experimental iteration.
E103 can be used as a stand-alone working electrode in conventional electrochemical cells, or integrated into flow cells, MEAs, single cells, short stacks, and pilot-oriented test fixtures. Substrate thickness, catalyst loading, binder chemistry, dimensions, shape, and surface treatment can be selected to match different membrane systems and hardware designs.
Each configuration is built around a porous nickel framework and a customizable catalyst-layer interface.
A flexible, electrically conductive porous support designed for cutting, punching, compression, lamination, and integration into different cell structures.
A nanoscale oxide coating distributed across the nickel fiber surface to create active sites for alkaline oxygen evolution.
Binder chemistry can be selected for general laboratory use, anion-conducting interfaces, or increased hydrophobicity, depending on the cell design.
The finished electrode can be used directly or processed further by wetting, hot pressing, lamination, or assembly with a membrane and supporting layers.
Standard configurations cover common laboratory requirements, while optional parameters can be adapted for specific membranes, fixtures, current densities, and scale-up programs.
| Parameter | Standard Configuration | Optional / Custom Configuration | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Model | E103 Research Grade | Custom batch identification or OEM labeling | Use E103 as the base model for NiFeOx-coated nickel fiber paper electrodes. |
| Primary Reaction | Alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) | System-level pairing with alkaline water electrolysis or CO₂ reduction cathodes | Select according to electrolyte chemistry and anode operating conditions. |
| Substrate Material | Porous nickel fiber paper | Surface treatment and interface adjustment available | Nickel is recommended for alkaline systems requiring conductivity and mechanical flexibility. |
| Substrate Thickness | 0.25 mm or 0.40 mm | Thickness matching and supporting-layer solutions available | Choose 0.25 mm for thinner assemblies; choose 0.40 mm when greater structural support is preferred. |

| Assembly Compatibility | H-cells, flow cells, MEAs, single cells, and research stacks | Hot pressing, lamination, pre-wetting, and interface matching | Final assembly pressure and pretreatment should be adjusted to the membrane and hardware design. |
| Packaging | Pre-dried and sealed packaging | Batch packaging, OEM packaging, and quantity-based customization | Keep sealed before use and avoid contamination, folding, or uncontrolled surface contact. |
Note: Final electrode performance depends on catalyst loading, binder chemistry, electrolyte concentration, temperature, membrane type, compression, activation procedure, and test hardware.
Designed to combine active catalyst chemistry, porous transport pathways, mechanical adaptability, and configurable processing.
The NiFeOx catalyst layer is selected for alkaline oxygen evolution studies and can support anode polarization, activity, and stability evaluation.
Nanoscale catalyst deposited on a three-dimensional fiber network provides extensive catalyst–electrolyte contact and distributed reaction sites.
The open porous structure assists electrolyte wetting, reactant access, oxygen-bubble removal, and transport through the electrode thickness.
The nickel framework is well suited to alkaline electrochemical environments and provides a practical balance of conductivity, strength, and processability.
The electrode can be cut, punched, compressed, wetted, hot pressed, or laminated to match different fixtures, flow fields, membranes, and sealing geometries.
Loading, binder, substrate thickness, dimensions, shape, and surface interface can be tailored for controlled comparison studies and custom cell development.
E103 can function as a direct test electrode or as an integrated anode component in more complex electrochemical assemblies.
Use the following three decisions to define the substrate, catalyst loading, and interface for your experiment.
Match the electrode thickness to the available chamber depth and compression strategy.
Choose loading according to the purpose of the experiment and the target electrode architecture.
Match the catalyst-layer interface to the membrane chemistry and cell hardware.
Proper handling and assembly help preserve the catalyst layer and improve test repeatability.
Common questions about loading, binders, assembly, dimensions, and customization.
Yes. It is supplied as a pre-fabricated electrode and can be used directly after any experiment-specific cutting, wetting, activation, or assembly preparation required by your protocol.
An anion-conducting binder such as PiperION, NEXIONIC®, or QAPPT is generally preferred for AEM-oriented catalyst layers. Final selection should match the membrane chemistry and test conditions.
Lower loadings are useful for screening and catalyst-utilization studies, while higher loadings are useful for evaluating thicker active layers, higher total catalyst content, or scale-up-oriented electrode designs.
Yes. Provide the active area, total dimensions, shape, hole positions, sealing boundary, coating side, substrate thickness, catalyst loading, and binder requirement when requesting a custom configuration.
No single performance value applies to every system. Results depend strongly on the membrane, electrolyte, temperature, compression, flow field, activation procedure, catalyst loading, and complete cell design.
Share your electrolyzer dimensions, membrane type, active area, catalyst loading, binder preference, target operating conditions, and required quantity. A suitable E103 electrode configuration can then be prepared for laboratory testing or batch production.
Youveim® E103 electrodes combine a porous nickel fiber paper current collector with Accelerate® nanoscale NiFeOx catalyst. The series is engineered for alkaline oxygen evolution research, AEM water electrolysis, paired CO₂ electrolysis systems, membrane-electrode assembly development and laboratory-scale stack evaluation.
