      "The proposed international project involves the design and optimization of a novel AEM water electrolyser designed to minimize the cost of green hydrogen production through the development of high-performance, stable membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and electrodes based on non-noble catalysts. The firm and two other Canadian consortium members will work together to optimize their already developed Aemion membrane, MEA structure and architecture; lab scale MEA coupons will be subject to long-term bench testing. Scales-up MEA fabrication and electrolyzer design is the responsibility of the G",
      "The goal of this Project is to develop membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) at scale, comprised of advanced ionomers which allow for high efficiency and durability in an optimized CO2 electrolyzer architecture. This Project leverages progress made at the University of Toronto (UofT) and Simon Fraser University (SFU) in device and material development. At UofT, tremendous progress has been made in terms of system, cell, and component design. At SFU, expertise in the creation of new materials and extensive material screening and characterization for CO2 electrolyzers has allowed creation of a hi",
      "A coating line for functional polymers onto substrates with state-of-the-art precision and inline QC will be developed. Hydrocarbon membranes outperforming incumbent materials will result for numerous electrochemical applications. This is a Germany 2+2 project led (on the German side) by Hahn-Shickard Institute.",
      "This proposed research is focused on the study and development of anion and proton exchange membranes (AEMs and PEMs) for high-performance CO2 electrolyzers based on polymers invented at SFU, with Ionomr Innovations Inc. acting as a pipeline to commercialization. These polymers and membranes possess high anionic conductivity and very high, state-of-the-art, chemical and mechanical stability. These solid polymer electrolytes have been demonstrated in fuel cells and water electrolyzers but in order to integrate the materials into electrolytic CO2 devices they must be chemically and physically ta",
      "This project will develop a detailed manufacturing protocol for commercial R2R casting process for anion exchange membranes. It comprises systematic investigation of the effects of polymer temperature, air flow rates and line speeds for a given set of solvent compositions on the physicochemical properties of membrane films produced.",
      "This project will develop spray-processible antimicrobial polymeric film of high antimicrobial efficacy and durability.",
      "Ionomr membrane technology was designed to provide a step-change in performance and cost for hydrogen technology, and look to diversify international partnerships with motivated global automotive markets in Germany and China.",
      "Provides a recent chemical engineering graduate with career development opportunity in NPI Characterization Engineer.",
      "This project will help Ionomr evaluate novel hydrocarbon ion exchange membranes and assist in product development and customer support.",
