From platinized carbon to catalyst slurry

The core functional part of electrochemical converters for the H 2 -processing such as electrolyzers or fuel cells are the active surfaces inside. The active layers initially were pastes or inks which are slit coated or printed and dried after. In order to have the maximum performance and a high quality layer without agglomerates as well as a uniform loading, it is essential to use the suitable machinery. Target is to transfer the solid and liquid raw materials into a fully homogenous and agglomerate free suspension, all done in a safe way without harming the product ingredients or operators. Further quality fact for the downstream coating is a stable rheology. IKA with more than 110 years of experience supplies seamless from the single machine for R&D purposes to the entire mixing plant, from raw material containment discharge to the final product for coating.
