NiSkali – Scalable electrodes for AEM electrolysis<\/h1>\n

In the newly launched project, the partners are developing scalable Ni-S electrodes for alkaline membrane water electrolysis (AEM-WE). The aim is to develop robust, performance- and cost-optimised electrodes for the anode and cathode side. <\/h4>\n

NiSkali continues to develop precious metal-free Ni-S catalyst layers<\/strong> for the anode and cathode of alkaline membrane water electrolysis (AEM-WE) – with a focus on performance, stability and industrial feasibility. The focus is on optimising electrodeposition, controlled S-leaching\/NiOOH structure formation and scaling up electrode production to larger areas. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

What is the NiSkali project about?<\/h2>\n

NiSkali is pursuing a clear goal: to further develop Ni-S catalyst layers electroplated on stainless steel fleece in such a way that they can be produced robustly, reproducibly and over large areas<\/strong> for industrial use in AEM electrolysers.<\/p>\n

In the previous project, electrodeposition was proven to be a particularly promising approach for optimising costs and performance<\/strong> – for both electrode sides<\/strong> (cathode and anode).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Why Ni-S? Advantages of precious metal-free electrodes in AEM electrolysis <\/h2>\n

The Ni-S approach offers several key advantages over uncoated stainless steel fleece (anode) and Pt\/C (cathode):<\/p>\n
