Ongoing Projects in PEM-Water Electrolysis Research

Kopernikus P2X

PEM water electrolysis permits the sustainable production of hydrogen from renewable energies. An important requirement to enable a large-scale application of this technology is to reduce the amount of the scarce and noble metal Iridium. To address this challenge, the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry (TEC) at TUM is working together with various project partners from industry and academia within the Kopernikus Power-to-X (P2X) project. Besides research on membrane electrode assembly (MEA) level in single cell electrolyzers, TEC is also working on durability tests on stack level in close cooperation with the Bayerisches Zentrum für Angewandte Energieforschung (ZAE).
