LINQCELL CAT-NiMoAl

Harmonization Code : 7508.10.00.00 |   Cloth, grill and netting, of nickel wire
Main features
  • Low overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction
  • Platinum-group metal (PGM)-free catalyst
  • Optimized as cathode for alkaline water electrolyzers

Product Description

LINQCELL CAT-NiMoAl is a nickel-based electrode with nickel alloy catalyst layer deposited through plasma spray coating. It registers low overpotential for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the cathodic reaction in electrochemical water splitting. While platinum is traditionally used to catalyze HER, its scarcity and high cost make transition metals like nickel strong alternatives. Nickel, in particular, demonstrates exceptional catalytic activity in alkaline solutions. CAT-NiMoAl is an improved version based on a ternary nickel–molybdenum–aluminum alloy, offering performance comparable to that of the benchmark platinum electrode, making LINQCELL CAT-NiMoAl a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance cathode for alkaline water electrolyzers.

Key Features:

  • Strong Catalytic Activity: The cathode demonstrates strong catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), crucial for efficient water splitting. This version is comparable to platinum.
  • Excellent Stability: The cathodes have maintained their coating adhesion, voltage, and overall performance after 1000 hours of testing under a constant current of 10000 A/m2.
  • Cost-Effective Alternative to Platinum: By using nickel-based alloys and a nickel alloy catalyst layer, the LINQCELL CAT-NiMoAl provides a more affordable solution compared to traditional platinum-based catalysts.
