Next-Generation Electrodes for Alkaline Electrolysis

Patent-protected 3D nanofiber technology that cuts nickel usage by up to 97% while boosting efficiency | Pre-spin-out at DTU Energy

The Electrode Efficiency Challenge

Traditional electrodes face critical limitations:

2D plates: Limited surface area, restricted performance

3D foams: High production costs, heavy nickel dependency

Industry impact: Higher CAPEX, supply chain vulnerability, environmental burden

Green hydrogen must compete with fossil fuels. Current electrode technology holds it back.

Engineered for Scale, Designed for Efficiency

Fibernex electrodes combine advanced electrospinning with precision nickel-phosphorus coating to create fully tunable 3D porous architectures that outperform conventional designs.

Up to 97% Less Nickel

Dramatically reduced material dependency and environmental impact

Up to 5-10% Efficiency Gain

A 5 MW electrolyzer stack gains ~45 additional tonnes of green hydrogen per year
