Innovative Coating by James Cropper Boosts Hydrogen Efficiency Beyond DOE Standards
A Revolutionary Approach to Hydrogen Technology
In an era striving for cleaner energy sources, James Cropper’s Resillion™ technology stands out as a pioneering leap forward in the realm of hydrogen production. Their new high-performance coating for titanium Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser components is not just a minor improvement—it’s a game-changer.
Overcoming Degradation Challenges
The RESILLION™ coating significantly reduces degradation in critical electrolyser components, notably Bipolar Plates (BPP) and Porous Transport Layers (PTL). These advancements push system longevity and efficiency past previous industry benchmarks. By lowering degradation rates to 3.9 μV/h, this technology not only meets but exceeds the U.S. Department of Energy’s benchmark of 4.8 μV/h, setting a new standard for future developments.
Dr. Srijita Nundy’s Vision
Dr. Srijita Nundy, the driving force behind this innovation and Head of Innovation at James Cropper, shared insights into their approach:
“Degradation is one of the most critical factors impacting electrolyser performance. At James Cropper, we’ve gone beyond surface-level testing.”
This deeper understanding of degradation mechanisms results in solutions that improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness, empowering a new wave of energy innovation. The company’s state-of-the-art testing facility simulates real-world conditions, enabling groundbreaking advancements in the hydrogen value chain.
Real-World Impact and Cost Efficiency
By embracing RESILLION™, users can expect lifetime savings exceeding $430,000 in a 5MW electrolyser system over 80,000 hours. This significant reduction in maintenance and replacement costs positions hydrogen as a more reliable and scalable energy solution.
Looking Forward: A Sustainable Energy Future
With this technological leap, James Cropper cements its leadership in the hydrogen economy, promising innovative, affordable solutions for a sustainable energy future. According to Hydrogen Central, their commitment to innovation promises continued advancements that are essential for meeting growing energy demands responsibly.
