Mattiq Develops Portfolio of Novel Catalysts to Solve Key Materials Challenge in the Global Scale-Up of Clean Hydrogen
Mattiq , the clean chemistry company, announced today the development of a portfolio of novel, highly durable alternatives to iridium, a rare and costly element critical to clean hydrogen production.
- Mattiq , the clean chemistry company, announced today the development of a portfolio of novel, highly durable alternatives to iridium, a rare and costly element critical to clean hydrogen production.
- Each alternative has the potential to meet or exceed that material’s performance, but with a much lower cost and greater availability.
- However, PEM electrolyzers rely on iridium oxide catalysts, straining the supply chain of one of the rarest naturally-occurring elements on Earth.
- Iridium’s limited supply and high cost has stirred debate in the planning of infrastructure, such as hydrogen hubs, to meet future demand for clean hydrogen.
