Low-Platinum Gas Diffusion Electrode (GDE) Supply & Samples
Cofounder & CEO at ACR Materials GmbH
Wiener Neustadt, Austria
About
Our GDEs are built on ACR Materials’ Catalytic Material Platform: a carbonized nano-fibrous matrix (CNFM) with alloy catalyst nanoparticles grown throughout it, not coated on top, using our proprietary nanoparticle synthesis process.
Key benefits
-
Less platinum: Up to 60% lower platinum use
-
Strong performance: Matches or exceeds conventional carbon-paper-based electrodes
-
Better durability: Improved gas diffusion and water management
-
Cleaner materials: Fluorine-free, binder-free, and PFAS-free
-
Sustainable design: Built for recyclability
Available formats
-
Standard GDEs with our platform alloy nanoparticles
-
Custom GDEs with nanoparticle compositions and loadings tailored to your target performance
-
GDL (Gas Diffusion Layer) without catalyst nanoparticles, for partners who want to apply their own catalyst
Supply across the full development cycle
-
Small R&D coupons for lab-scale testing
-
Bulk rolls for pilot lines and stack integration
Who this is for
-
PEMFC and electrolyzer MEA developers
-
Stack integrators
-
Catalyst and ink developers
...who want to benchmark a low-platinum, PFAS-free alternative directly in their own hardware.
Lab-validated performance
-
Stable performance over repeated cyclic voltammetry cycles
-
Low charge-transfer resistance
-
Uniform nanoparticle distribution, confirmed by SEM-EDS
