Lynntech's OER catalyst can be utilized for PEM electrolyzers for hydrogen and oxygen generation for residential and stationary applications. High pressure PEM electrolyzers are potential candidate for stationary H2 generation applications and solar energy storage systems that require uninterrupted power. They are a good candidate for effective onsite hydrogen generation and refueling stations for hydrogen refueling in fuel cell vehicles. Other applications of PEM electrolyzer include O2 generation for medical applications such as hospitals, deployed field hospitals and portable O2 concentrators.
Lynntech's advanced OER catalyst can be used for electrolyzer energy storage for NASA's future robotic and human exploration missions, particularly for stationary power for lunar surface bases. With a photovoltaic array for power generation, there needs to be an electrical energy storage system to supply power demand during the sun-eclipsed periods for space missions. This will be challenging for lunar missions where day/night cycle extends to >350 hrs. For such applications, Lynntech's advanced OER catalyst will provide lightweight electrolyzer energy storage due to improved performance and will also achieve long term stability of 10,000 hrs due to optimized composition and nanostructures. In addition to power generation and energy storage, lightweight PEM electrolyzers utilizing Lynntech's advanced catalyst will also provide H2 and O2 utilities for several important spacecraft operations including: (1) environmental control and life support; (2) propulsion; (3) extravehicular activity (EVA); (4) in-space manufacturing activities; and (5) in-space science activities.
