Hythin™ Iridium
Thin film catalytic and conductive coating for anode-side catalyst layer application in PEM electrolyzers
Hythin™ Iridium is a thin film coating developed for anode-side catalyst layer applications in PEM electrolyzers. The coating is designed for porous transport layers (PTLs) operating under highly oxidative and electrochemically demanding conditions in hydrogen production systems.
Hythin™ Iridium enables conductive and catalytic surface functionality for critical electrolyzer components. The coating achieves very low interfacial contact resistance while supporting stable electrochemical performance on the anode side of the MEA.
Performance
Hythin™ Iridium is optimized for anodic environments where corrosion stability and electrochemical activity are essential for electrolyzer efficiency. The iridium-based coating supports conductive and catalytic surface behavior under aggressive operating conditions associated with oxygen evolution reactions.
The coating can be applied on porous transport layers with controlled thin film deposition across complex surface structures. This contributes to stable electrical contact, efficient catalyst utilization and reliable long-term stack operation in PEM electrolyzer systems.
