CF04_3: Development of sputter-based thin films for decentralized solid-state ammonia synthesis

Thin films CF04_3 Project costs: 747 T€ Project Period: 05/2022–04/2024 Part­ners: Over­view: Solid-state ammonia synthesis (SSAS) is an attrac­tive elec­tro­che­mical process that enables the produc­tion of ammonia directly from water vapor and nitrogen, clas­si­cally at tempe­ra­tures around 450–550 °C. In the Spudnik project, metal-supported membrane elec­tron assem­blies (MEAs) are produced for solid-state ammonia synthesis. Metal…

CF04_2: Development of small series for MEAs for solid state ammonia synthesis

Thin films CF04_2 Project costs: 1.155 T€ Project Period: 09/2023–10/2024 Part­ners: Over­view: Ammonia is one of the most widely utilized chemi­cals in the world and is curr­ently  produced from fossil fuels using the Haber-Bosch process. This process is respon­sible for 1.5 % of global carbon dioxide emis­sions.  However, given the need to reduce the associated…

CF04_4: Metal-supported membrane electrode assemblies with high-entropy alloy cathodes for alkaline polymer membrane water electrolysis

Thin films CF04_4 Project costs: 750 T€ Project Period: 07/2022–06/2024 Part­ners: Over­view: Water elec­tro­lysis is a key tech­no­logy for split­ting water into hydrogen and oxygen using rene­wable ener­gies. Green hydrogen is consi­dered a promi­sing energy carrier for a sustainable future and is produced by elec­tro­lysis using rene­wable ener­gies. In the CF04_4 project, the inno­va­tive approach…

CF05: Electroceramic thin films for the use of ammonia in marine propulsion systems

Thin films CF05 Project costs: 1.193 T€ Project period: 09/2020–08/2022 Part­ners: Objec­tive: The consor­tium for the colla­bo­ra­tive project CF05 is deve­lo­ping a quick-start membrane reactor for the produc­tion of hydrogen from ammonia. This is a key hydrogen tech­no­logy for effi­cient energy conver­sion in diffe­rent types of fuel cells and engines in the future. In contrast…

CF04: Thin-film-based membrane electrode assemblies for the decentralised synthesis of ammonia by solid-state ammonia synthesis

Thin films CF04 Project costs: 1.934 T€ Project period: 06/2020–08/2022 Part­ners: Kerafol Over­view: Inte­gra­ting new elec­tro­cer­amic thin films into energy systems enables the small-scale imple­men­ta­tion of resource-effi­cient direct and flexible energy conver­sion processes for ammonia synthesis. In joint project CF04, part­ners are deve­lo­ping high-perfor­mance thin-film-based membrane elec­trode units (MEA) for the decen­tra­lised synthesis of ammonia…
