BSL -5.0 Alkaline electrolysis electrode

BSL -5.0 Alkaline electrolysis electrode is composed of Raney Nickel catalyst that is coated on nickel mesh (46 mesh, strand diameter being ~0.25 mm).  In typical alkaline electrolyzer stacks, this electrode has been demonstrating the following characteristics:

• Overpotential @ 5000 A/m²: ~275 mV for HER side (versus RHE) and ~320 mV for OER side (vs. 1.23 V_RHE)
• Degradation rate: < 1 μV/hr
• Cell voltage: 1.75 V @ 5000 A/m² (coupled with BSL-5.0 as the anode electrode)
• Energy consumption: 4.2 kWh/Nm³ @ 5000 A/m²
• Commercial use: BSL -5.0 Alkaline electrolysis electrode can be used both as the anode and cathode electrodes in typical alkaline electrolyzer stacks that are designed to generate ~1000-2000 Nm³/h.

It is recommended that this electrode product to be operated for a minimum of 24 hours or longer in order to see the desired electrochemical performance. Shorter operational times may demonstrate low performance.
