Decarbonization
Surface engineering solutions for batteries, PEM electrolyzers, and PEM fuel cells.
Decarbonization Coatings
Decarbonization technologies place extreme demands on materials. Batteries, PEM electrolyzers, and PEM fuel cells all rely on metallic and functional surfaces that must remain conductive, stable, and durable under corrosive, electrical, and mechanical stress.
Without effective surface protection, oxidation, corrosion, passivation, and interfacial degradation reduce efficiency and shorten service life. Thin-film coatings play a critical role in stabilizing these interfaces, controlling reactions, and supporting predictable performance over long operating cycles.
Ionbond applies PVD coating technologies to support energy storage and hydrogen systems at every stage, from development to high-volume production. Our coatings are engineered to protect critical components, secure conductivity, and balance durability with cost control across demanding decarbonization applications.
Coatings for PEM fuel cells
Carbon-based and precious metal coatings secure conductivity and corrosion resistance on metallic bipolar plates, supporting long service life in automotive, stationary, and high-end fuel cell systems.
Coatings for PEM electrolyzers
PVD noble metal coatings protect metallic components operating under high voltage and acidic conditions, maintaining conductivity and durability for reliable and efficient hydrogen production.
Coatings for batteries and redox flow systems
Thin-film coatings stabilize interfaces exposed to electrolytes, limiting degradation, reducing resistance, and supporting long cycle life in compact and large-scale energy storage systems.
