Supported platinum Catalyst
ECS has a high surface area, internal porosity, and anchoring sites that host Pt and Pt-alloy particles. The tortuous pores at optimized length scales suppress undesired particle growth while in use to promote long term durability. These pores also protect catalyst particles from direct ionomer poisoning while allowing mass transport.
Engineered Catalyst Supports™ (ECS)
Pajarito's ECS is made using a modified VariPore™ manufacturing process to create catalyst supports that resist carbon corrosion and improve catalyst adhesion and dispersion. Our high surface area mesoporous carbons feature interconnected pores, tailorable pore sizes and pore size distribution as well as embedded anchoring agents to improve catalyst durability.
Pajarito Powder develops and manufactures advanced catalysts for fuel cells and electrolyzers, partnering with manufacturers to help optimize their systems
Iridium Oxide OER Catalyst
Pajarito synthesizes some of the highest surface area and durable IrOx available through our proprietary process and at relevant commercial scale. Physicochemical characteristics include extremely high BET surface area (~ 150 - 220 m²/g) and small crystallite size (~ 2.2 - 2.5 nm) as measured by XRD. Durability targets include < 2.3 µV/h at 1 mgIr/cm² after 3000 hours.
