[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\nBut there is a way forward \u2013 relatively recently, researchers have developed a third-generation technology, anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis. This technology integrates the benefits of PEM and alkaline electrolysis. The AEM electrolysis technology uses low-cost catalytic materials, as in alkaline electrolysis, and a solid polymer electrolyte architecture, as in PEM electrolysis technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AEM electrolysis technology works in an alkaline environment (pH\u200910). This makes it possible to use non-noble-metals. The membrane used is a polymeric membrane. It is relatively inexpensive and has low interaction with atmospheric CO2. This electrolysis technology should offer better performances and at a lower overall cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is in part where the networks inherent within Teijin Aramid, and in the wider hydrogen community across business and academia come in. Knowledge sharing and exchange will drive and enable the progress necessary to achieve the goals we need to reach to mitigate the effects of burning billions of tons of fossil fuels. This, then, is the idea behind Connected Research: enable, enhance and encourage connection and collaboration<\/p>\n\n\n\n
