Product Details
Product Description
Ti Time supplies custom AEM electrolyzer bipolar plates, also known as AEM bipolar plates, anion exchange membrane bipolar plates or AEM separator plates, for hydrogen production systems, anion exchange membrane water electrolysis and electrochemical research applications.
Our AEM bipolar plates can be produced from stainless steel, carbon steel, pure nickel, nickel-plated steel, nickel-plated stainless steel or customized metal substrates according to customer stack design and operating requirements. Surface treatment and coating options can be selected to improve electrical conductivity, alkaline corrosion resistance and long-term operating stability.
Ti Time can provide flat bipolar plates, flow-field bipolar plates, coated separator plates, nickel-plated plates and custom AEM plate components according to customer drawings, samples and technical requirements.
AEM water electrolysis is a hydrogen production technology based on anion exchange membrane systems. Compared with PEM electrolysis, AEM systems usually operate in alkaline or near-alkaline environments, which allows more flexible material choices for bipolar plates and stack components.
AEM bipolar plates are key components in the electrolyzer stack. They help conduct current, distribute water and gas, separate adjacent cells, support stack compression and maintain stable electrochemical operation.
For AEM electrolyzer applications, material selection depends on electrolyte condition, operating temperature, current density, stack pressure, coating requirement and target service life. Stainless steel, carbon steel with nickel plating, pure nickel and nickel-plated metal substrates are commonly considered for different AEM stack designs.
Ti Time focuses on practical metal processing, precision machining, plating and coating support, and drawing-based customization. We can support prototype development, small-batch testing and batch production for AEM electrolyzer projects.
