Ideal for electrolyzer PTLs, battery current collectors, flow batteries, and advanced electrochemical research applications.
Description
Research Grade Gold-Plated Titanium Fiber Paper – Electroplating
Research Grade Gold-Plated Titanium Fiber Paper is a conductive, corrosion-resistant porous material developed for demanding electrochemical applications. It combines a lightweight titanium fiber-paper structure with a protective gold coating to provide improved electrical contact, chemical stability, and long-term durability in harsh electrochemical environments.
The material is manufactured using a controlled electroplating process that deposits gold onto the titanium fiber substrate. The titanium provides the mechanical framework and porous architecture, while the gold surface helps protect the substrate and maintain a conductive interface during operation.
Key Features
- Titanium Fiber Substrate: A lightweight and mechanically robust porous structure that provides an open network for fluid and gas transport.
- Gold Electroplating: A controlled plating process provides a conductive gold surface over the titanium fiber network.
- High Corrosion Resistance: Gold offers excellent chemical stability and can provide protection against surface degradation in a variety of acidic and alkaline electrochemical environments.
- Improved Electrical Contact: The conductive gold surface helps reduce electrical contact resistance and supports effective current transfer between the porous material and adjacent cell components.
- Open Porous Architecture: The interconnected fiber structure allows liquids and gases to move through the material, making it suitable for porous transport and current-collection applications.
- Mechanical Stability: The titanium framework provides structural support and helps the material withstand compression, fluid flow, and demanding cell operating conditions.
Applications
Porous Transport Layer (PTL) for Electrolyzers
Gold-plated titanium fiber paper can be used as a porous conductive layer in electrochemical cells where corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact are important. Its porous structure enables fluid and gas transport while providing electrical connectivity between the electrode region and current-collecting components.
Current Collector for Batteries
The material can also serve as a corrosion-resistant current collector or conductive porous support in specialized battery and electrochemical energy-storage systems, including flow-battery configurations.
Other Electrochemical Systems
Potential applications include laboratory-scale electrochemical reactors, electrodes and current-collection assemblies, corrosion-sensitive electrochemical devices, and other systems requiring a combination of conductivity, porosity, and chemical stability.
