Hydrogen as Energy Carrier
Supporting The Hydrogen Supply Chain with Analytical Tools
Bruker’s analytical tools ensure hydrogen gas purity, detect trace contaminants, and support failure analysis of fuel cell components and storage materials. From gas analysis to advanced microscopy and spectroscopy, we help secure performance and safety across the hydrogen value chain.
Used Fuel Cell Membrane Contamination Analysis
Fuel cell membranes used in hydrogen applications are prone to contamination during real-world operation, which can degrade performance over time. Bruker's FT-IR microscopy enables detailed chemical identification of surface deposits in accordance with ISO and VDA standards.
- ISO 16232
- VDA 19.1
Using ATR mode and high-resolution FPA detectors, this technique provides precise insights into failure mechanisms—supporting quality assurance, root cause analysis, and the long-term reliability of fuel cell components.
