NREL October 2019 Blind Study demonstrated that AEM samples manufactured by Orion Polymer Corp using their proprietary anion exchange resin have excellent durability at high operational temperatures. Virtually no degradation at 80 ºC for 1000 hours with 1M KOH.  Fuel Cell Store and Orion Polymer Corp. proudly present the state-of-the-art AEM that will revolutionize your projects in the area of hydrogen electrolyzers (i.e., AEM electrolyzers with alkaline electrolyte concentrations of up to 1 Molar), AEM fuel cells, electric vehicles, redox flow batteries, high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (with a simple acid pretreatment of the Orion CMX membrane sheets), and many other electrochemical devices and applications. 

Looking for high temperature operational stability, reliability, and long lifetime for your electrochemical applications? Membrane and ionomer products manufactured by Orion Polymer Corp. are designed to satisfy these requirements. The blind study conducted by NREL for various AEMs (50+) demonstrated that Orion's anion exchange membrane samples have exceptional chemical stability and high temperature resilience. Virtually no degradation at 80 ºC for 1000 hours with 1M KOH.  AEM samples manufactured by Orion Polymer Corp. are labeled as PPN4 and PPN5 in the image below.

Orion's anion exchange membrane samples demonstrated the highest ionic conductivity compared to other 50+ AEMs in the blind study conducted by NREL. Chemical durability of these membranes were tested with 1M KOH at a temperature of 80 ºC for 1000 hours. % ionic loss and % IEC loss measurements demonstrated that membranes based on Orion's proprietary resin showed virtually no loss. Orion's AEMs have high anion conductivity, excellent chemical durability (virtually no conductivity loss and IEC loss), and superb high temperature stability.  Such advanced features makes AEMs based on Orion's proprietary resin an ideal membrane (or solid electrolyte) for numerous electrochemical devices and applications.
