N2 - Our team will develop novel, dense, polymer electrolyte separators based on polybenzimidazole (PBI) derivatives that will enable tuning of water/KOH uptake in mechanically robust films for advanced liquid alkaline water electrolysis (LAWE). These material advances will enable thinner separators with increased selectivity (hydroxide conductivity/hydrogen permeability), thereby enabling higher operating currents, increased dynamic operating high-temperature stability, and catalyst-coated membranes (zero-gap design advantages) in direct alignment with stated lab call goals.
