HXP-an PGM-free NiFe LDH anode for AEM water electrolysis

Available

Use an anode with a consistent architecture and specification for anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis while varying membranes, cells and operating conditions.

The HXP-an is a PGM-free NiFe-LDH anode electrode, available to order in two standard formats: 200 × 300 mm at 300 µm and 100 × 100 mm at 3 mm. Standard formats ship two weeks from PO acceptance; custom thickness or large areas take up to two months.

Who it is for

An anode that stays constant while you change membranes or cells

HXP-an is an OER anode with NiFe LDH grown directly on a Ni foam substrate. Review the material architecture, standard formats and test conditions before selecting the size for your study.

Choose this product when
  • Development aiming to lower AEM electrolysis anode cost with NiFe-LDH on nickel foam
  • Research evaluating a NiFe-LDH OER anode in a single cell or short stack
  • MEA fabrication or electrode cutting that needs a standard or custom-size anode
FROM MATERIAL TO ELECTRODE

How the NiFe LDH anode is built

The OER anode is made by growing a NiFe LDH catalyst layer directly on a porous Ni foam substrate. It contains no platinum-group metal and no iridium. Because the catalyst is grown on the substrate itself, HXP-an is supplied as a catalyst-coated substrate (CCS) electrode rather than a catalyst-coated membrane (CCM).

Support, lead time and commercial terms3 items
Replacement & technical support

The anode uses our own synthesized NiFe-LDH, so replacements to the same specification come directly from us. We sign an NDA where detailed performance data or test results need to be exchanged.

Lead time & status

Available · 2 weeks from PO acceptance for standard formats (custom up to 2 months)

Commercial terms & origin

EXW basis; DAP and other terms by agreement. Country of origin is the Republic of Korea, with certificate of origin provided.

Pricing depends on quantity and Incoterms, so it is issued as a quotation. Before asking for one, compare five years of buying cylinders against making the same hydrogen on site.
