Hydrogen Production
| Water electrolyzers and MEA QC on-line sensors | Skyhaven Systems is a small business with locations in Steamboat Springs, CO and Westford, MA that focuses on electrochemical technologies. The firm conducts numerous SBIR and BAA government funded programs with a central focus on electrochemical reactors, separators, electrodeposition, H2 generators, PEM-based fuel cells and water electrolyzers, sensors, and materials development.
The firm has a patented quality control inspection system for non-destructively assessing the chemical activity of membrane and electrode assemblies. This has applicability for on-line QC inspection of electrolyzer and fuel cell MEAs during reel-to-reel manufacturing. The firm desires to engage and partner with MEA manufacturers who desire an on-line rapid QC sensor for assessing the quality of catalyzed membranes.
The firm is involved with novel electrochemical reactor designs and materials development. A new water electrolyzer design is being developed that offers a substantially lower capital cost than traditional PEM-based electrolyzers while helping to maximize operational efficiency. Partners are being sought that can conduct mathematical modeling of the electrolyzer to help guide design development, and that can help assess scaled water electrolyzers substantially larger than 25 cm2 active areas. |

Hydrogen Pilot Projects and Demonstrations
| | The NC Clean Energy Technology Center, an extension of North Carolina State University, was founded in December 1987 as the North Carolina Solar Center. For the last 35 years, the Center has worked closely with partners in government, industry, academia, and the non-profit community while evolving to include a greater geographic scope and array of clean energy technologies. As a result of this evolution, the Center has grown into a state agency respected for its assistance to the burgeoning “clean tech” sector in North Carolina, as well as one of the premier clean energy centers of knowledge in the United States. The Center provides services to the businesses and citizens of North Carolina and beyond relating to the development and adoption of clean energy technologies. Through its programs and activities, we envision and seek to promote the development and use of clean energy in ways that stimulate a sustainable economy while reducing dependence on foreign sources of energy, and mitigating the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use.
We provide technical assistance, policy analysis, and workforce development training related to clean energy. In addition, we host the DOE's CHP Technical Assistance Partnership in the Southeast, and we have access to NCSU's extensive research resources. Our suite of services provides a holistic approach to clean energy adoption, integrating technological advancement with real-world applications, regulations, problems, solutions, and opportunities. We track hydrogen policy developments at the federal and state level, and understanding the regulatory landscape is key to developing effective hydrogen solutions; this interdisciplinary approach ensures ideas and technologies are more likely to reach deployment. |

Fuel Cells
| Topic 3. Advanced Electrolyzer Technology and Component Development | We study electrocatalysts, in particular corrosion resistant catalyst support. We have developed a unique coating process, condensed layer deposition (CLD), to make metal oxide nanocoatings on a substrate. This is a low-cost liquid process to making nanocoatings. For example, we can coat carbon black or carbon nanotubes, or other materials, with acid resistant metal oxide nanocoatings (such as TiO2, Nb2O5, etc.), anywhere from 1 to 100 nm. We can incorporate iridium (Ir), or other elements, in/on the metal oxide nanocoatings for high utilization with reduced PGM loading. This is expected to lead to a highly efficient and active OER catalyst. We would like to join a team to contribute to the electrocatalyst aspect.

ETS has over two decades of extensive experience installing and implementing skid mounted modular fully engineered and factory-tested on-site chlorine and sodium hypochlorite generation plants globally. ET Energies is well positioned to be a leading provider of electrolysis-based solutions for the production of green hydrogen and will leverage ETS's expertise and skills to apply them in R&D for designing on-site hydrogen & oxygen generation systems and PEM stacks.
Interest:
ET Energies is actively seeking strategic partnerships with companies specializing in advanced CCM development, coating and sealing technologies as well as high-precision manufacturing of bipolar plates. ET Energies has expertise in developing PEM stacks & systems and is looking to improve its current electrolyzer stack through alliances with component suppliers. The intention is to develop a reliable cost-effective PEM stack that meets or exceeds the performance characteristics required by DOE by combining our knowledge and expertise with that of other developers. A strong focus is placed on window area and flow-field optimization, advanced high-pressure sealing, waste material reduction and safety.
Capabilities:
We are actively working on developing a scalable high-pressure discharge PEM electrolyzer stack and have the ability to design & develop optimized flow-fields and cooling loops to better distribute current and temperature distribution within the stack to extend its life expectancy and improve efficiency. Current projects include developing a modular, cabinet-sized on-site hydrogen/oxygen generator system to bring to the market. |
