Platinum M_Grid™

For SOFC / SOEC high operating temperature testing and wet electro-chemistry applications

At high temperature (>900°C) and for long periods of use (>100h), the ideal cathode current collector, which is known as the gold M_Grid™, can stick or even melt on the electrodes. For this reason, Fiaxell, as manufacturer and supplier recommends the use of platinum M_Grid™ under these test conditions.

Platinum M_Grid™ replaces advantageously platinum mesh, gauze & fabric and is ideal for counter electrode in wet electro-chemistry, corrosion, electro-plating, flow redox battery, PEM fuel cell, electrolyte conductivity and double layer characterization.

Material: platinum 99.95 % purity
M_Grid™: expanded platinum sheet with a fine microstructure (mesh opening of 0.9 x 1.4 mm and 0.08 mm in thickness; flat rolled for improved electrical contact)
M_Grid™ is calendered which allows for very low contact resistance compared to a woven Pt mesh
Robust structure for sense & counter electrode in wet electro-chemistry, corrosion, electro-plating, PEM fuel cell and electrolyte conductivit measurements

Delivered with a taper rod to periodically re-shape itFrom the rolls, platinum M_Grid™ is supplied as disc, rectangle or any shape cut to customer’s request. Long lasting electrode current collector are obtained with a double M_Grid™ layer reinforced with lateral flattened and welded platinum wires that improve the flexibility and robustness.

Contrary to woven platinum mesh, gauze & fabric made with thousands of very fine wires, platinum M_Grid™ is one body structure which prevents unraveling and fraying.

Raw material: platinum 99.99 %; mesh opening: 0.9 x 1.4 mm; M_Grid thickness: 0.08 mm; one body structure contrary to woven platinum mesh that often frays. Fiaxell is the M_Grid™ manufacturer and supplier
