BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS) has opened a new hydrogen component laboratory in Hannover, Germany.
The facility is dedicated to advancing research on anode and cathode platinum group metal (PGM), which contains catalysts and components. Additionally, ECMS will apply its expertise in catalysts and precious metals to develop next-generation catalysts for electrolysis.
The laboratory will also aim to address the scarcity and high cost of iridium for PEM electrolysers. Research will be carried out to reduce the iridium content without compromising the electrolyser’s efficiency or durability.
