PEACE Stack development: what's new?

The PEACE team members of Materials Mates Italia (MMI), made significant progress in three key areas within the development of the PEACE stack for highly pressurized alkaline electrolysis (WP3 of the project). First, they initiated the operation of the gantry mill, focusing on setting the tooling and methods for optimal results. Second, they have designed and begun production of the end plates, with an emphasis on optimizing pressure-to-weight performance. Lastly, they made a decision on gasketing based on experiences with test items already delivered to the MMI team by other PEACE members.

Moreover, results from the leak tests are expected this fall, alongside the full stack design. Meanwhile, performance optimization is ongoing with reduced-scale cells.
