Support for Ionomr Innovations to continue operations during the COVID-19 pandemic

3+2 Canada-Germany BMBF - INTEGRATE - Innovative alkaline membrane-electrode designs for low-cost green hydrogen at gigawatt scale$600Kvalue2022start2025end

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

Advanced Material and System Development towards Pilot Scale CO2 Electrolyzers$379Kvalue2023start2026end

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

Germany 2+2 - FlexCoat – Flexible coating with inline QC for customized production of hydrocarbon membranes for next-generation electrochemical devices$274Kvalue2019start2022end

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.

Anion exchange membrane development & in situ characterization for CO2 electrolyzers$241Kvalue2020start2021end

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

Development of commercial-grade roll-to-roll (R2R) casting for Ionomr AAEMs$151Kvalue2018start2019end

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.

Easy to Apply Polymeric Antimicrobial Films$140Kvalue2021start2022end

This project will develop spray-processible antimicrobial polymeric film of high antimicrobial efficacy and durability.

Ionomr Innovations Hydrogen Membrane Technology Expansion for the Chinese and German Markets$51.5Kvalue2019start2020end

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.
