Against the backdrop of accelerating global energy transition, green hydrogen, as an important energy carrier to achieve carbon neutrality goals, is increasingly prominent in its strategic position. At present, the green hydrogen industry is in a critical stage of large-scale development, and breaking through material bottlenecks and reducing system costs have become industry consensus. Since its establishment in June 2024, Polyrocks Hydro-friend has focused on the research and industrialization of anion exchange membrane materials. Its AEMemr ® The series of products have achieved significant breakthroughs in conductivity, stability, and cost control, providing key material support for promoting the commercialization of green hydrogen.

Core product AEMemr ®- Taking PAW-1-60 as an example, the membrane material successfully achieved non precious metal catalyst matching. Under the condition of 1 M KOH and 80 ℃, a current density of 3.0 A/cm ² can be achieved with only 1.8 V voltage. The Faraday efficiency exceeds 99%, and the dynamic response time is less than 1 second, which can efficiently adapt to the fluctuation characteristics of wind, solar and green power. This product has excellent characteristics such as high strength, high conductivity, and low swelling. The tensile strength reaches 50 MPa, and the OH ⁻ ion conductivity is 180 mS/cm (80 ℃). After 2450 hours of continuous testing, the voltage rise rate is only 3.3 μ V/h, and the product stability is excellent.
At the application level, AEMemr ®- PAW-1-60 has been successfully applied in domestic alkaline membrane water electrolysis demonstration projects, helping the system reduce the cost of precious metal catalysts by over 30% and effectively improve the consumption capacity of wind, solar and green electricity. In addition, the catalytic layer ionomer material AEMemr launched by Polyrocks Hydro-friend ®- PAI-1-5E， As the first high-performance polyelectrolyte material in China that can achieve mass production, it has excellent adhesion and mechanical stability, and can quickly discharge product gases to avoid gas accumulation in the catalytic layer, thereby preventing blockage of active sites. It also efficiently aggregates and assembles with various catalysts to prevent damage to the catalytic layer. This material is related to AEMemr ®- The PAW-1-60 membrane combination provides a complete material solution for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis systems.

It is reported that Jushi Hydrogen Friends will launch its second-generation anion exchange membrane product in September this year. The new generation of products has made further improvements in reducing swelling and hydrogen content in oxygen, which is expected to enhance the stability and safety of electrolytic cells.
In the future, Jushi Hydrogen Friends will continue to deepen the research and development of anion exchange membrane technology, accelerate the construction of large-scale production lines, and work closely with upstream and downstream enterprises and research institutions in the industrial chain to jointly promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the green hydrogen industry, providing Chinese material solutions for building a sustainable green hydrogen ecosystem.
