Titanium expanded mesh, derived from titanium plate or coil, undergoes cutting and stretching by automated mesh expanders to create a metal mesh with consistent diamond-shaped apertures. Predominantly used as a substrate for mixed metal oxide electrodes, it enhances surface area to accommodate more catalyst material. Moreover, adjusting the material's flow rate upwards aids in improved ion separation. With uniformly distributed edges across the anode surface, titanium expanded mesh excels in current density and plating, facilitating efficient solution movement, electrolyte transfer, and plating outcomes.

Working Principle

Electrolyzers function by electrolyzing water into hydrogen and oxygen via an electrochemical process. This occurs within a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, comprising two fundamental components: an anode and a cathode, segregated by a proton-conducting membrane.

At the anode, water molecules decompose into oxygen (O2) and positively charged hydrogen ions (H+), driven by an external electric current. The proton-exchange membrane selectively permits protons to traverse, segregating them from electrons. In the cathode chamber, protons pass through the membrane, combining with oxygen and electrons to produce hydrogen gas (H2).

Titanium expanded mesh functions as a foundational framework for the anode, ensuring stability and electrical conductivity.
