Hypercat® catalysts for decarbonization
In the field of green hydrogen production and utilization, catalysts play a crucial role in enhancing process efficiency by accelerating chemical reactions.
Hypercat® is a series of high-performance catalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and alkaline electrolyte membrane (AEM) fuel cells and electrolyzers.
Developed by Breton in partnership with the University of Padua, these catalysts utilize patented technology.
Catalysis R&D service
From concept to implementation, Breton's skilled scientists specialize in custom product development of Platinum Group Metal (PGM) and PGM-free catalysts, as well as Membrane Electrode Assemblies catering to ambitious clients in the decarbonization sector.
Since 2010, the Breton Institute of Technology has been investing in the research, development, and industrialization of new materials for electrochemical devices.
The BIT electrochemical division focuses on industrializing materials that deliver higher performance and lower costs compared to market alternatives.
