Demonstration of Chemical Stripping of and Noble Metal Recovery from Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrodes
FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-15
Summary
The successful completion of this POC will produce a novel method to recover noble metals from PEM electrodes using an environmentally friendly chemical stripping approach. Iridium has been identified as a bottleneck to the rapidly growing green hydrogen production using polymer electrolyte membrane PEM electrolysis of water.

Description
The successful completion of this POC will produce a novel method to recover noble metals from PEM electrodes using an environmentally friendly chemical stripping approach. Iridium has been identified as a bottleneck to the rapidly growing green hydrogen production using polymer electrolyte membrane PEM electrolysis of water.
Description (French)
L'achèvement réussi de cette démonstration de faisabilité produira une nouvelle méthode pour récupérer les métaux nobles des électrodes à MEP en utilisant une approche de décapage chimique respectueuse de l'environnement. L'iridium a été identifié comme un goulot d'étranglement pour la production verte d'hydrogène, qui connaît une croissance rapide, en utilisant l'électrolyse de l'eau à membrane électrolyte polymère (MEP).
