Breakthrough! James Cropper's Resillion™ Coating Revolutionizes PEM Electrolysers

In an exhilarating leap for green hydrogen technology, James Cropper Advanced Materials has unveiled its Resillion™ coating technology, set to redefine the future of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers. As the world races toward sustainable energy solutions, this pioneering development offers a beacon of hope for more durable, efficient, and cost-effective hydrogen production systems.

Unprecedented Performance

The strength of Resillion™ lies in its capacity to significantly mitigate degradation in crucial components of PEM electrolysers, such as Bipolar Plates (BPP) and Porous Transport Layers (PTL). This cutting-edge coating has proven to reduce component degradation rates to a mere 3.9 μV/h, far outperforming the U.S. Department of Energy’s benchmark of 4.8 μV/h. Such advancement is not just a technical victory—it promises lifetime savings exceeding $430,000 for a 5MW electrolyser system over its 80,000-hour operational life. According to Hydrogen Central, these numbers underline the technology’s potential to transform the economics of hydrogen production.

Dr. Srijita Nundy’s Vision

The vision behind this breakthrough is vividly articulated by Dr. Srijita Nundy, Head of Innovation at James Cropper Advanced Materials. “Degradation is one of the most critical factors impacting electrolyser performance,” she explains. Nundy and her team have taken an exhaustive approach, delving deep into the degradation mechanisms to craft a solution that not only meets but exceeds industry standards, enabling their customers to achieve unprecedented efficiency and sustainability.

Advanced Testing and Validation

Thanks to a state-of-the-art, custom-built testing facility, James Cropper can replicate real-world conditions and scrutinize electrolyser performance under extreme situations. This capability accelerates development cycles and encourages data-driven improvements across the hydrogen value chain, solidifying James Cropper’s status as a leader in sustainable energy technology.

A Sustainable Future with Resillion™

The implications of Resillion™ extend far beyond its technical attributes; it represents a key advancement in the global push for a clean energy future. By lowering maintenance costs and enhancing electrolyser reliability, Resillion™ plays an essential role in the widespread adoption of hydrogen as a viable, scalable clean energy solution.

Showcasing Innovation in Houston

James Cropper’s pioneering work will take center stage at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Houston, where they will showcase not only Resillion™ but also the Ready2Stack™ BPP solution—another innovative leap designed to optimize stack performance and simplify supply complexities. Visitors can learn more about how these innovations cut degradation rates and boost efficiency by engaging with the James Cropper team at Booth 660.

Embrace the revolution in hydrogen technology with James Cropper’s Resillion™ coating—a development that is not just changing industry standards, but paving the way towards a sustainable future.
