Development and industrial translation of a novel nanocrystalline mixed iridium oxide on electronically engineered doped SnO₂, into an architected ultra-low-iridium catalyst coated membrane operating at ≤0.2 mgIr cm⁻², under industrial PEM water electrolysis conditions.

My vision is to establish a locally developed ultra-low-iridium PEM anode that sets a new performance benchmark at industrial scale. The objective is to reduce iridium intensity without compromising durability, so hydrogen deployment is no longer constrained by material scarcity. In the long term, I want this work to demonstrate that locally engineered, scientifically rigorous CCM technology can compete globally and support scalable, manufacturable clean energy systems.
