{"product_id":"xt-iridium-ruthenium-oxide-grade-s","title":"XT Iridium Ruthenium Oxide Grade S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe XT Iridium Ruthenium Oxide (IrRuOx or IrRuO4) catalyst manufactured by Fuel Cells ETC is a high-purity unsupported mixed-oxide nanopowder. The main application for IrRuOx has always been the proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis and it is used as the anode catalyst to electrochemically split the water to its constituents (oxygen and protons). Recent literature indicates that IrRuOx can also be used for AEM electrolysis, chemical production, water disinfection and waster water treatment, electrochemical degradation of micropollutants and various contaminants (such as pharmaceutical effluents, persistent organic dyes, etc.), supercapacitors, and many other electrochemical and non-electrochemical applications. An example list of the applications is given below and this is by no means an exhaustive list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is used as an industry-standard OER anode catalyst in harsh acidic environments (PEM electrolyzer stacks using Nafion, Aquivion, and other PFSA membranes as their solid acid electrolyte) and holds performance across typical operating pressure and current-density ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ir–Ru alloying within the IrRuOx takes the stability of iridium oxide and the higher activity and lower cost of ruthenium oxide, so this catalyst keeps the performance industry applications require while using less of the more expensive metal. This is not a mixture of IrOx and RuOx. Instead, it synthesized with the alloying in mind in order to merge Ir and Ru species at the atomic scale. XT IrRuOx is intended as a drop-in anode catalyst for catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs), catalyst-coated substrates, and customer ink work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product has a BET surface area of 100–120 m²\/g.
