Celadyne Technologies Inc organizis around development of nanocomposite membranes that are designed to be used in high-performance electrolyzers and fuel cells with simple heat and water management. The firm's new proton exchange membrane technology enables low humidity and elevated temperature operation for fuel cells and electrolyzers. The membrane technologies can be formed in similar manner to traditional polymeric membranes but offer many benefits of a ceramic separator. These lower hydrogen crossover while also working at low humidity and elevated temperature conditions, enabling hydrogen economy for better catalyst durability at a low cost. In addition to the benefits in efficiency and catalyst durability, the firm expects to reduce humidification and thermal management needs by as much as 50%. The company is a part of Cohort 3 in the Chain Reactions Innovations program at Argonne National Laboratory, and is a graduate of the Sputnik ATX Winter 2018 EIR accelerator.
