ELECTROLIFE
Facilitating the next generation of electrolyzer technologies by enhancing the efficiency performance of electrolyzers through modeling, testing and lifetime prevision.
Uniresearch Role
Uniresearch was contracted to write and compile the grant application, as well as provide support for management activities in ELECTROLIFE. Additionally, UNR is responsible for leading the tasks related to dissemination, communication, and exploitation.

Project
The ELECTROLIFE project aims to be a booster to enable the use of green hydrogen technologies to support decarbonization of European global industry. Currently, electrolysis technologies suffer from limitations in terms of cost, efficiency, stability, scalability, and recyclability. This is mainly due to the lack of understanding and identification of electrolyzer degradation mechanisms and improvement of current cell performance. In the next 5 years, ELECTROLIFE aims to increase the efficiency performance of electrolyzers by reducing the use of critical materials and extending the useful life of these systems. These goals will be achieved through test campaigns to identify multiple degradation mechanisms on multiple scales, multiphysics simulations with superimposed degradation mechanisms, prototyping of cells and stack components, and construction of dedicated test benches.
