Hydrogen – Mesh for fuel cells

Components that make the difference

Fuel cells are used as an electrical energy source in cars, aircraft, and ships. Technical meshes from GKD, used as electrode material, maximize efficiency in power generation. These wire meshes are suitable for various fuel cell types, including solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Their porosity, conductivity, and shape enable diverse applications within fuel cells, such as power distributors on the anode side (H₂ electrode) and as contact media. Their high degree of homogeneity improves the gas diffusion layer.

They also optimize electrode collectors and the catalyst/electrolyte substrate. The distinctive smooth surface structure of our technical weaves ensures an optimal electrical connection of the diaphragm. They can also withstand bending forces without losing contact with active materials. To offer protection from contamination of pipes and components, GKD meshes are also used as filters in pipes carrying hydrogen.
