SparkNano SpatialALD Interview KD

PEM electrolysis holds a significant share in the green hydrogen market, projected to grow at a 24% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, according to Global Market Insights. However, its Achilles heel is reliance on iridium as a catalyst, an extremely rare and expensive element whose global resource is dwindling.

SparkNano’s Spatial ALD technology offers a potential solution, 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴’ 𝗯𝘆 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝟰𝟬 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. PEM electrolysis currently demands around 500g of platinum group metals (PGM) per 1 MW, but with Spatial ALD, this can be cut to about 𝟭𝟬𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝟭 𝗠𝗪.
