KnitMesh Technologies’ Gas Diffusion Layers are an essential component in various applications such as proton exchange membranes (PEM), ion exchange membranes (IEM), and alkaline zero-gap electrolyser setups. These specialised layers play a crucial role in improving efficiency and optimising performance in electrochemical processes.

Constructed from high-quality knitted wire mesh, KnitMesh Technologies’ Gas Diffusion Layers are designed to facilitate the smooth passage of liquids, gases, or particles while providing robust structural support. The unique crimped or compressed design of these layers ensures that they meet specific requirements for each application, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

One of the key benefits of KnitMesh Technologies’ Gas Diffusion Layers is their ability to eliminate electrical contact resistance by enhancing electrical and pressure contact between different components within electrolysis cell stacks and modular cell cartridges. By optimising the connectivity between cells, divider stacker plates, membranes, and diaphragms, these layers help improve overall efficiency and performance.

To further enhance electrical conductivity, KnitMesh Technologies offers the option to weld Gas Diffusion Layers to various contact points on metal plates and adjacent components such as bipolar plates, porous structures, metallic felt, and expanded metal. This seamless integration ensures a single, bonded structure that effectively reduces electrical contact resistance, resulting in superior performance.
