Project Kick-Off

Getting on Track: Kick-off of the HyInnoCells project

As part of the Zukunftscluster Wasserstoff the project researches the flexible production of electrochemical cells. In particular, the focus is on electrolysers for water electrolysis – currently the most promising production process for green hydrogen.
The aim is to develop a process route for the production and coating of porous transport structures for these cells, which meet the manifold requirements during electrolysis and , thus, ensure high activity as well as long-term stability. At our Chair, the advantages of Additive Manufacturing, such as design freedom and processing of versatile material combinations, are used to efficiently develop and identify suitable structures and material combinations.
