ENDURE is a Clean Hydrogen Partnership funded research and innovation project in the field of alkaline water electrolysis. Its consortium is composed of highly recognized partners, including research centers, companies and a university.

 

The ENDURE project will result in an innovative electrolyser stack design with innovative technological components. ENDURE will yield in higher durability thanks to decreased degradation rate of alkaline electrolysis cells and stacks via electrode improvements, design and material innovation on stack level and via the development of accelerated testing procedures. By the end of the project the sub-components and the short stack of at least 5 cells will be tested, validated and demonstrated at a lab scale.

 

The main objective of ENDURE is to improve the current density and stability of electrolysers bringing the performance and durability of alkaline electrolysers to a new level. The number of publicly available durability data on alkaline electrolysers is scarce; therefore, the efforts will contribute to enriching the understanding of current density and stability of electrolysers for the scientific community. More specifically, the goal is to drastically decrease the degradation rate and increase the efficiency of alkaline cells and stacks via the development of hierarchically structured flow-engineered monolithic porous transport electrodes, via design/material improvements on stack level, and via accelerated testing procedures.
