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
