Energy conversion is where electrochemistry pays its rent — turning electrons into hydrogen, hydrogen back into power, sunlight into fuels, microbes into sensors, and molten salts into reactive metals. This top-level section gathers the materials, electrodes, and cell hardware that EChem Supplies stocks for the principal energy-conversion platforms, plus the discipline primers for adjacent fields where the supporting hardware lives elsewhere in the catalog. Audience: researchers building single cells, short stacks, and benchtop reactors across low- and high-temperature electrochemistry.
Pick by the platform you are working on:
-
Electrolyzers & Fuel Cells — the full low- and intermediate-temperature stack: PFSA and quaternary-ammonium membranes and MEAs, PFSA and piperidinium ionomers, PEM / AEM / alkaline catalysts, GDL and PTL current collectors, and the testing cells and press accessories needed to fabricate and screen MEAs.
-
SOEC & SOFC — high- and intermediate-temperature solid-oxide and protonic-ceramic stacks: fluorite-structured oxide-ion electrolytes (YSZ, ScSZ, GDC, SDC), LSGM and BZCY/BZCYYb perovskite electrolytes, Ni-cermet fuel-side and strontium-cobaltite air-side electrodes, and electrolyte- and anode-supported button and planar cells.
-
Molten Salt Electrochemistry — discipline primer for high-temperature halide, carbonate, nitrate, and hydroxide melts used in reactive-metal electrowinning, pyroprocessing, molten-carbonate fuel cells, liquid-metal batteries, and FFC-Cambridge oxide reduction.
-
Bioelectrochemistry — discipline primer for enzyme-, microbe-, and biomolecule-based electrodes covering biosensing, microbial fuel cells, microbial electrolysis, and bioelectrosynthesis.
-
Photoelectrochemistry — discipline primer for light-driven semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces, covering solar water splitting, CO2 reduction, and the metal-oxide and chalcogenide photoelectrode families paired with HER and OER co-catalysts.
If you are building a PEM or AEM cell, start in Electrolyzers & Fuel Cells; for high-temperature ceramic stacks, go to SOEC & SOFC. For molten-salt, bioelectrochemical, or photoelectrochemical work, read the discipline primer to orient the experiment, then source electrodes, electrolytes, and cells from the broader catalog.
