en.Wedoany.com Reported - Evonik's Innovation Factory has opened its first Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Application Technology Center in Shanghai, where it will test and optimize its high-performance DURAION® membrane products under real-world conditions.

This center is Evonik's first facility of its kind in China, designed to meet the specific needs of local customers through membrane integration validation. Leveraging Evonik's expertise in polymer chemistry, membrane technology, and electrochemical materials, the center is equipped with specialized laboratories and demonstration-level electrolysis testing capabilities, including advanced electrolyzer test stations for evaluating membrane performance and long-term durability under actual operating conditions.

The AEM center will serve as a collaborative platform, enabling local experts and partners to jointly address technical challenges across the AEM electrolysis value chain. This initiative aims to accelerate the development cycle of DURAION® membranes and deepen the understanding of AEM-based electrolysis systems, thereby speeding up market adoption. Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis technology can be used to produce green hydrogen, offering greater flexibility in power supply and lower investment costs compared to other electrolysis solutions, due to the use of lower-cost materials.
