Fuel cells are a core component in producing electricity through the electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Kumyang Innovation Co., Ltd. has initiated the transfer and mass production of catalyst technology, aiming to establish a pilot MEA production line through ongoing R&D efforts. Using optimized catalyst layer technology, including slurry dispersion and coating processes, we strive to reduce the cost of platinum catalysts, which account for about 40% of the stack cost. Using a catalyst synthesized with ultra-fine nanoparticle technology applied to a self-developed carbon support, we will provide products that meet customer requirements in terms of both performance and more competitive pricing. These optimized and reliable products will be applied to various fields based on their specifications and long-term reliability.

Fuel cell catalysts are crucial materials that determine fuel cell vehicles' cost and performance. Globally, efforts have been made to reduce catalyst costs and improve performance.

Unlike conventional commercial synthesis methods, the ultra-fine nanoparticle technology developed by Kumyang uses a simple stirring process to synthesize uniformly sized 2-nanometer and ultra-fine alloy nanoparticles in large quantities. Catalysts synthesized with this revolutionary technology, applied to our self-developed carbon support, possess high activity and durability, contributing to the performance improvement of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). This development is expected to reduce the cost of precious metal catalysts, which account for a significant portion of fuel cell vehicle costs. In addition to mobility, the technology is expected to meet the diverse needs of markets such as power generation, transportation, and military applications.
