1. 简介

XICAT^TM Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA) are highly durable and they provide ultra-high performance assemblies for use in electrochemical applications due to the use of ultra-thin composite membranes.

This Catalyer MEA AEM-Pention-72-5CL-30μm-0.5mgPt-Cloth product is comprised of the following sub-components: 30 micrometers thick Pention 72 series composite membrane and carbon cloth based gas diffusion electrodes with 0.5 mg/cm² loading of 60% Pt/C catalysts both for anode and anode.

The crosslinking percentage for this MEA is set to 5%.

This alkaline MEA can be used for alkaline fuel cell applications or any other alkaline chemistry based device development efforts.

2. Membrane electrode assemblies (MEA)的重要性

Membrane electrode assemblies (MEA’s) are critical to the performance of any electrochemical device.

From electrochemical compressors to oxygen control systems, Xergy has experience producing MEA’s for a wide variety of its own devices.

3. XICAT^TM PEM & AEM Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA)分类

Catalyst: 60wt% Pt/C

Gas diffusion layer: carbon cloth

4. 定制

XICAT^TM Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA) are highly customizable, ultra-high performance assemblies for use in electrochemical applications.

Xergy has the largest selection of composite proton exchange membranes (C-PEM) and proton exchange ionomers (PEI) and composite anion exchange membranes (C-AEM) and anion exchange ionomers (AEI) to select from for the XICAT MEA design.

Xergy offers a custom service for producing MEA’s. Our team has experience making either catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) 3-layer MEA’s or gas diffusion electrode (GDE) 5-layer MEA’s. We can provide electrodes with catalyst loadings from 0.05 to 6 mg/cm2.

Our XICAT^TM MEA’s can be produced from either commercially-available ion exchange membranes or from our in-house, high-performance XION^TM ion exchange membranes.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) as well as developmental anion exchange membrane (AEM) MEA’s are available.

5. 定制XICAT^TM MEA可选用的的膜和离聚物

C-PEMs/PEIs for the XICAT MEAs are available from Dyneon^TM, Aquivion^TM, and Nafion^TM perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers.

C-AEMs/AEIs are available from Durion^TM and Pention^TM ionomers.

6. XICAT^TM MEA分类及定制选项

The standard MEA is a 5-layer construction with a membrane sandwiched between a gas diffusion electrode and catalyst layer.

A second MEA structure is a 3-layer construction known as a catalyst coated membrane (CCM), in which the catalyst is applied directly to the membrane and there is no gas diffusion layer.

7. XICAT^TM MEA用于科学研究

These are developmental products that are currently being offered to researchers for their various electrochemical applications and hence, the amount of experimental data is is scarce and Xergy team hopes that customers purchasing these products would provide some feedback in order to further improve their electrochemical performances.
