Johnson Matthey (JM) has announced a successful demonstration of its HyRefine™ technology designed for recycling hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyser materials.
By recovering both the critical platinum group metals (PGMs) and membrane ionomer, JM can contribute towards a circular hydrogen economy.
JM researchers have proved at lab scale that both the PGMs and the ionomer can be recycled into new catalyst coated membranes – the ‘performance-defining’ components in hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers – and separate experiments have confirmed that the recycled PGM catalysts match the performance of fresh material.
