The protocols aim to harmonize tests conducted across the laboratories of project partners.
ELECTROLIFE addresses the challenge of harmonizing different protocols for low-temperature electrolysis used by academic and industrial partners by leveraging existing literature and the partners’ expertise. These guidelines will be evaluated in various laboratories using components and stacks developed within the project. The results will be compared to current partner protocols to identify potential weaknesses and areas for improvement.
These protocols focus on testing durability, performance degradation, and component characterization under both stationary and dynamic conditions. The findings will enhance our understanding of degradation mechanisms, such as membrane thinning and catalyst dissolution.
By standardizing these protocols, ELECTROLIFE aims to ensure consistency across laboratories, enabling effective testing of new materials and configurations. This process will ultimately help validate degradation mechanisms in low-temperature electrolysis, paving the way for more reliable and durable systems.
