Hydrogen Fuel Cell Catalysts
Momentum Materials® provides hydrogen fuel cell catalysts that facilitate the electrochemical reactions of oxygen and hydrogen to generate electricity for transportation and stationary power applications. Our catalysts deliver high performance and outstanding durability, making them ideal for both mobility and stationary use.
HER and PEM electrolysis catalysts
We are also developing electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in PEM electrolysis, aiming to reduce platinum loading while maintaining strong performance and long-term stability.
Platinum on NCP Supportsâ„¢
By depositing Pt on NCP Supportsâ„¢ — our proprietary mesoporous carbon powder featuring three-dimensionally interconnected nanostructures and exceptional carbon corrosion resistance—we create Pt/NCP catalysts that deliver high performance across various conditions and achieve 2.5 times the durability of benchmark catalysts.Â
