In 2021, the facility was divided into three smaller labs, focus on materials development, single cell testing and diagnostics, and MEA fabrication and short stack testing, respectively. Four full time PhD researchers and specialists with 18+ years’ experience in fuel cell testing and material development and characterization. Capabilities: equipment and techniques for catalyst and electrolyte synthesis and characterization - High Temperature & Pressure Reactor, Tub Furnace, Rotavapors, Glove Box, Potentiostat & Impedance Analyzer, RRDE, BET, TG-MS, DSC, XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, FT-IR, GC-MS etc; lab scale MEA fabrication (digital coating machine) and single cell (5-100 cm2)/short stacks (up to 2kW) testing and evaluation (6 PEM test stations). Current interests: synthesis and characterization of novel materials (catalysts, electrolytes) for electrochemical applications; development of contaminant tolerant fuel cells for harsh environments; advanced characterization methods (EIS and DRT, HiL, segmented cell system); HT-PEMFCs and AEMFCs.

We are manufacturer of a newly developed production equipment that practically has no application temperature limit. The equipment has extremely small dimensions and can be optimally positioned deep in the well. The operating range is twice as wide as today's submersible pumps, as is the amount of fluid it can produce. We have all the knowledge and software solutions needed to simulate the new system well production as well as all other standard production methods. We have production capacities, a US service center as well as our own development team that can solve the most challenging application requirements. With each new day, we strengthen our capacities and presence on the US market. We are very interested in demonstrating our new production system in use and proving what new possibilities it opens up for the production of geothermal energy as well as the faster expansion of its use.

ElectroCat, now in its second phase (ElectroCat 2.0). ElectroCat is addressing by addressing primary challenges to the widespread implementation of polymer electrolyte fuel cells and hydrogen production by alkaline membrane water electrolysis. The precious metal electrocatalysts that are the current standard in fuel cell and electrolyzer systems are expensive and restrict the ability to develop devices that are cost-competitive with traditional power and hydrogen production technologies. this barrier by accelerating the development and deployment of platinum group metal-free electrocatalysts. To do this, the Consortium is employing a systematic approach in which potential catalysts are synthesized and analyzed rapidly and comprehensively using high-throughput, combinatorial methods and advanced characterization techniques. These in turn are guided by computational work, machine learning, and fundamental electrocatalysis and materials knowledge housed across the national laboratory network. ElectroCat 2.0 leverages progress in PGM-free fuel cell catalyst development made by the original ElectroCat Consortium (2016-2020) to drive further innovation in fuel cells and applies its proven experimental and computational methods to tackle PGM-free catalysts for electrolyzers. Core consortium national laboratories are Argonne National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
