Both researchers and manufacturers can agree that repeatable results are key to success in the fuel cell industry.

The performance of the enhanced NextCell-HP™ electrolyte supported cell can be attributed to the use of our patented Hionic™ electrolyte support, which is more than four times stronger than conventional fully stabilized electrolytes and yet has excellent conductivity.

The NextCell-HP™ offers higher performance suitable for use at lower operating temperatures.

Taking advantage of many years’ experience developing protective coatings through controlled layer deposition, we have implemented improved manufacturing processes to provide a higher performing cell at a lower price point than the traditional NextCell™.

Instead of screen printing, electrodes are constructed on the same Hionic™ electrolyte through Aerosol Spray Deposition (ASD), a process that enables fine control deposition of electrode layers and is readily amenable to low cost and high volume manufacturing. This improved control has enabled us to provide thinner and more uniform electrodes.
