Hydrogen Systems provides a comprehensive range of precious metal-based products for electrolysers and fuel cells, in particular electrocatalyst solutions for next generation applications. Furthermore, the new business line offers, in addition to precious metals supply, a comprehensive array of technologies as well as the respective production capacities for the recovery of precious metals from production scrap and end-of-life materials, such as catalyst coated membranes. It serves as central point for applications of precious metals for customers in the hydrogen economy.
“Our global R&D and testing, as well as production facilities enable us to fulfil our customer needs on a technical and overall business level,” said Dr. Philipp Walter, Head of the new business line. “We are strong innovators and support our customers’ business end-to-end.”
Driven by its core expertise in electrocatalysts, Heraeus Precious Metals continues to expand its R&D efforts towards the US and China and beyond Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology. Furthermore, resources for customer support for ink and electrode development have been established.
In collaboration with a spectrum of partners within the hydrogen ecosystem, the new business line works tenaciously to refine the synergy between catalyst and application. “As specialists in precious metals, we are committed to crafting optimal catalyst solutions for electrolysis and fuel cells, as well as to the recycling of precious metals. Our outstanding know-how and long expertise have helped us to become a leader in low iridium catalysts. This is a good example of our capabilities in electrocatalyst development,” explained Dr. Christian Gebauer, Head of Innovation at Heraeus' new Hydrogen Systems business line. “Accelerating the transition to a hydrogen-based economy requires harnessing the best of each expert’s specialty.”
