New PGM Catalysts for better Electrolyzers and Fuel Cells

Our technology gives a simple way to increase efficiency of catalytic converters.


We have invented new generation of precursors to reduce the amount of noble metal needed for conducting chemical processess.


We use carbon nanoparticles on which we deposit precursors based on urea molecules bonded to Platinum ions.


By using smaller amounts of noble metal, you can achieve greater catalyst efficiency.

This technology allows you to flexibly design and produce catalysts to suit individual requirements. It's possible to manage the density of the precursors deposited on carbon nanoparticles.


Thus, some may want to achieve exactly the same catalyst efficiency as before, but in much smaller reactors. Others may want to increase process productivity by increasing the density of the noble metal in the catalytic converter.
