Hydrogen-Focused of Raney-Nickel coating nickel mesh catalyst FAQs
Q1: How does this mesh improve electrolyzer ROI?
A: Its low overpotential reduces energy consumption by 18–22%, cutting $0.15–0.30/kg H₂ production costs (NREL data).
Q2: Can it replace platinum in fuel cells?
A: While not a full replacement, it significantly reduces Pt loading requirements (0.1 mg/cm² vs. 0.3 mg/cm² standard).
Q3: Is the mesh compatible with ammonia cracking for hydrogen carriers?
A: Yes – tested for 1,000+ hours in ammonia-to-hydrogen converters with <2% activity loss.
Q4: What certifications support hydrogen safety?
A: Meets NFPA 2 (Hydrogen Technologies Code) and IEC 62282-201 standards for H₂ equipment.
