Hydrogen Fuel Cell Coating
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Coating – Ultrasonic Spray – Cheersonic
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, automakers are actively pursuing alternative propulsion systems. Fuel Cell Vehicles offer an exciting option by producing electric power through a reaction that combines hydrogen and oxygen to make water. However, hydrogen storage onboard vehicles and construction of an expensive hydrogen fueling infrastructure remain as challenges today. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions from the production of hydrogen must be considered since most hydrogen is currently produced from non-renewable sources. Fuel Cells are being explored as an option for reducing vehicle CO2 emissions and for other benefits such as fuel-flexibility that would allow vehicles to operate on a range of bio-fuels, conventional fuels, and synthetic fuels to support diversification and/or “greening” of the fuel supply.
Cheersonic’ s fuel cell catalyst coating systems are uniquely suited for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable, and durable coatings. Using the company’s patented ultrasonic spray head technology, it can spray uniformly and efficiently on proton exchange membranes and gas diffusion layers. Uniform catalyst coatings are deposited onto PEM fuel cells, GDLs, electrodes, various electrolyte membranes, and solid oxide fuel cells with suspensions containing carbon black inks, PTFE binder, ceramic slurries, platinum and other precious metals. Other metal alloys, including Platinum, Nickel, Ir, and Ru-based fuel cell catalyst coatings of metal oxide suspensions can be sprayed using ultrasonics for manufacturing PEM fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, DMFCs (Direct Methanol Fuel Cells) and SOFCs (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells) to create maximum load and high cell efficiency.
The advantages of Cheersonic ultrasonic coating systems include:
1.Full range of ultrasonic nozzles
2.Spray patterns are easily shaped for precise coating applications
3.Up to 80% reduction in material consumption with reduced overspray, conserving expensive catalyst inks.
4.Spray plume can be easily shaped and directed to coat only target area.
5.Self-cleaning nozzle design prevents clogging
6.Extremely easy-to-control spray provides reliable and consistent results
7.Very uniform and durable coating (even on electrolyte substrates).
