The PROTIS project [Thin protective layers of titanium suboxide for porous transport layers in PEM electrolyzers] is one of the projects that will enable LEMTA to participate in accelerating the deployment of hydrogen, the keystone of industrial decarbonization.
Resulting from the ANR’s call for International Collaborative Research Projects (PRCI) between France and Switzerland, the project is coordinated by the Institut de la Corrosion and brings together the skills of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (EMPA), and those of LEMTA’s “Hydrogen and Electrochemical Systems” team: three renowned players whose aim is to reduce the cost of polymer membrane electrolyzers.
