De Nora’s electrochemical process technologies, based on optimized materials selection and materials design, contribute to the realization of a sustainable society across a wide range of fields. For instance, chlor-alkali electrolysis is a key process for producing fundamental chemicals. In addition, electroplating and electrowinning technologies are used in the production of lithium-ion battery current collectors and printed circuit boards and other applications, playing an essential role in the electronics industry. Furthermore, water treatment technologies are widely applied in drinking water facilities and industrial wastewater treatment, contributing to environmental protection and the provision of safe water. In recent years, energy transition technologies have also gained increasing importance. Green hydrogen produced through water electrolysis is expected to play a key role as a new energy carrier, as well as an alternative solution in hard-to abate sectors where decarbonization is challenging. These application fields and processes operate under diverse environmental conditions and performance requirements. Therefore, appropriate materials selection and design are critical factors in achieving long-term stable operation.
In this presentation, we demonstrate, through the introduction of specific technological examples from various application fields, how De Nora’s optimized materials selection, materials design, and advanced electrochemical process technologies contribute to improved reliability and stable performance under demanding operating conditions. Specifically, materials selection and design are optimized according to operating conditions such as acidic, alkaline, or chloride-containing environments, power fluctuations, and the required electrochemical reactions, thereby supporting the development of a sustainable society.
