International. Oxford nanoSystems (OnS), an advanced materials technology company, reduces the cost of producing emission-free green hydrogen.
OnS's patented coating, nanoFLUX, improves the hydrogen production capacity of alkaline electrolyzers by more than 50% at a significantly lower cost than today's state-of-the-art coatings.
The coating will accelerate the transition to a hydrogen economy by radically reducing production costs and addressing the key challenge of making green hydrogen competitive against fossil fuels.
NanoFLUX, an advanced metal alloy coating applied to the electrodes, promotes the formation and release of gas bubbles within the electrolyzer, improving overall process efficiency. This innovative coating has been combined with a patented catalyst that accelerates the hydrogen generation reaction.
An independent evaluation by E4Tech (part of the ERM Group), an international consulting firm focused on sustainable energy technologies, confirms the cost-benefit advantage provided by nanoFLUX.
"We are delighted with the results of external comparative analysis demonstrating the potential of nanoFLUX," said Dr. Ian Russell, CEO of OnS.
"The company is working with a number of electrolyzer manufacturers to test and, in due course, scale up nanoFLUX production to meet the challenge of significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production."
