Columbus, OH - April 15, 2016. - pH Matter, LLC., has been awarded a DOE Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Contract to develop a regenerative fuel cell system. A regenerative fuel cell stores energy by electrolyzing water and produces energy by recombining the hydrogen and oxygen electro-chemically. As electrical loads on the grid change throughout the day, the system could store energy when demand is low and supply ...

pH Matter, LLC has begun construction of a commercial-scale COR catalyst production system. The new system represents a 20X increase over the company’s previous “pilot-scale” capacity, and will allow for delivery of up to 400 kilograms per month of its line of COR catalysts. The catalyst materials are used in electrodes for metal-air batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and electrolysis cells. The COR catalyst materials have competitive performance compared to precious metal ...
