The sintered porous titanium plate is a vital component used in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, which play a key role in the production of hydrogen through water electrolysis. These plates are constructed from high-quality titanium powder and feature controlled porosity and pore size. With their exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and optimized surface area, sintered porous titanium plates enable efficient gas diffusion, electrolyte flow, and electrochemical reactions within the electrolyzer.
Sintered porous titanium plates have been proven to be an effective material in the manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cells for their high conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and durability. In line with this, sintered porous titanium plate has also become a viable option for the manufacturing of PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzers.
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in acidic environments, which is commonly found in PEM electrolyzers. This resistance ensures that the plates remain durable and unaffected by the corrosive electrolyte, allowing for long-term operation.
Electrical Conductivity
Titanium has good electrical conductivity, which is crucial for facilitating efficient electrochemical reactions within the PEM electrolyzer. The sintered porous structure of the titanium plates provides a large surface area, enabling effective contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, resulting in improved electrical conductivity.
