General information
- Short Summary
- A French engineering SME based in the South of France has developed innovative carbon fiber and thermoplastic bipolar plate technology for LT & HT PEMFCs, REDOX flow batteries, and electrolyzers. With a prototype manufacturing line and strong R&D collaboration experience, the company supports projects from composite formulation to design, manufacturing, and testing. It seeks stack integrators, fuel cell manufacturers, or powertrain manufacturers for the HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025-03-01 call.
- Full Description
-
Full Description *
(100-4000 characters) The company develops high performance composite materials for the hydrogen industry. They can produce electrically conductive composite components, such as bipolar plates for:
• Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs, low and high temperature),
• REDOX flow battery,
• PEM Electrolyser.
They can adapt our polymer so it fits the durability of the final application needs. They thus can produce durable (> 20 000h for PEMFCs bipolar plate for instance), compact (0.2mm webthickness), and ultra-light (<1.5 g/cm3), composite components with high electrical conductivity (ASR < 20 mΩ.cm2).
The company is a SME located in Toulouse, south of France, and is in capacity to support a project from composite formulation, to flow fields design, fixture manufacturing, integration and small series production. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Advantage and innovation (max 2000 characters) The company technology is a patented concept of carbon fiber based bipolar plates that brings together durability, lightweight, compactness and cost-effectiveness. The company can perform:
• Composite formulation
• Components design
• Prototypes realisation and integration service
• Lab testing (electrical conductivity, hydrogen permeation, porosity measurement, mechanical strength, accelerated ageing test in various chemical environments etc…)
