Aquivion® ion conducting polymers

Superior Cation Conductivity with Outstanding Thermal and Chemical Stability

Aquivion® ionomer enables solutions for megatrend-related challenges such as zero-emission transportation, green hydrogen production and integration of renewable energy in electrical grids. Syensqo’s Aquivion® portfolio is a key material for electrical storage and conversion devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzers and flow batteries used in conjunction with zero-emission electricity sources. These innovative materials are based on the Short Side Chain (SSC) copolymer of Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and Sulfonyl Fluoride Vinyl Ether (SFVE).

Market Applications

Aquivion® ionomers offer a broad range of solutions for hydrogen conversion, electricity storage and process reaction.

The superior cation conductivity of the material is leveraged in fuel cells for zero-emission transportation in trucks, buses and passenger cars, providing “clean air” mobility in metropolitan areas and in Redox-Flow batteries to answer the growing need for electricity storage systems due to the increase of renewable electricity developments. 

Aquivion® ionomers have outstanding chemical and thermal stability that enables high-efficiency green hydrogen production with a lower carbon footprint.

In the chemical industry, the material is used as a solid reusable catalyst and replaces disposable liquid organic acids such as sulfuric acid or HF, thereby eliminating large amounts of chemical waste that need to be either treated prior to disposal or recycled in a difficult or energy-intensive way.
