Innovation

Industry Problem

Electrolysers remain expensive and material-intensive because catalyst layers can depend on scarce metals and lose efficiency over time.

R&D Focus

High-throughput electrocatalyst discovery and catalyst-coated components for PEM electrolysers.

Innovative Solution

Calicat is a clean-energy company developing a proprietary electrocatalyst discovery process for electrolyser. The company electrocatalyst discovery is an unprecedented, proprietary, end-to-end ultrahigh throughput AI and data-driven process focused on the discovery of new catalysts for the generation of clean hydrogen and fuel cell power production.

Solution Effectiveness

Calicat reports that its zero-iridium PEM catalyst has operated below 2 V and is designed to reduce levelised hydrogen cost while maintaining durability.

About

Calicat is a clean-energy company developing a proprietary electrocatalyst discovery process for electrolyser. The company electrocatalyst discovery is an unprecedented, proprietary, end-to-end ultrahigh throughput AI and data-driven process focused on the discovery of new catalysts for the generation of clean hydrogen and fuel cell power production. The process prepares, characterizes, and quantifies the catalytic activity of millions of compositions per month and then closes the loop with big data analysis and AI to refine/guide the search.
