The proposed PIM-based binder is based on an advanced, proprietary formulation that offers benefits such as cost savings, reduced environmental impact and superior performance.
Improving the efficiency of fuel and electrolyser devices by offering an alternative to the reference material. The methodology adopted includes synthesis and characterisation of the binder, laboratory performance testing and comparative evaluation with the reference material.

Offer an innovative solution for sustainable mobility and the transition to clean energy sources, promoting efficiency and reducing costs. The technology developed can be applied in the production of hydrogen from renewable sources and its use in fuel cells for electricity generation.
The project involves the development of an innovative binder based on PIM (intrinsically microporous porous polymers), which will be characterised by its superior performance. Through precise control of molecular weight and degrees of functionalisation, the new binder promises to reduce electrical contact losses and increase cell stability and durability, representing a significant advance over traditional materials and paving the way for wider adoption of these essential technologies.
The business model involves collaborating with players in the fuel cell or electrolyser market to develop customised formulas based on the new binder. The innovation can reach the market through partnership or licensing agreements, with the aim of integrating the binder into their applications, offering a cheaper and more sustainable solution than currently available products.
