Catalyst Coated Membrane (CCM)

PEM fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, releasing energy in the process. The core of a fuel cell is a proton exchange membrane (PEM) coated on both sides with a cathode and an anode catalyst layer: catalyst-coated membrane (CCM).

Together with other components, the catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) is assembled to form the membrane electrode unit (MEA), which is needed in a PEM fuel cell to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

The catalyst coated membrane (CCM) from Laufenberg is designed to make the power generation process as efficient and stable as possible. The CCM consists of a cation exchange membrane coated with a cathode and an anode catalyst layer. We produce our CCMs at our production site in Krefeld, Germany.

Your requirements for the material

When manufacturing CCM, we fully comply with your requirements for the material.

✔ We are also happy to offer you an alternative Laufenberg standard for automobiles or heavy-duty applications.

✔ Our project-based contract manufacturing enables us to vary the carrier membrane and the catalyst for you.

✔ We have fully equipped laboratories and a pilot plant to find the perfect solution for your needs.

✔ We use a production process to manufacture the CCM in roll form. This makes the product particularly suitable for series production. If desired, the CCM can also be obtained as a format item.

✔ Even though our capacities are designed for larger order quantities, you can also order the production of small batches from us.

Please feel free to contact us. Together with our R&D department and the available pilot plant, we will support you on your journey from the laboratory scale to roll-to-roll production.
