Offer Description

The activity, within MEAEM Tasks 2.2 and 3.2, will focus on the development of anion-exchange membranes for electrolysers, with
particular attention to photocurable formulations and photopolymerization and crosslinking parameters. Relationships among composition, processing conditions, conversion and polymer-network structure, physicochemical, thermal, mechanical, ion-transport and electrochemical properties will be investigated. The most promising membranes will be integrated into MEAs and tested electrochemically under representative operating conditions, including stability and durability assessments. Results will be used to optimize formulations and membrane-preparation processes according to AEM electrolyser performance.
