CrownRe Zirconia: Enabling Clean Energy Solutions with Unique Oxygen-Ion Conductivity

CrownRe, a leading manufacturer of zirconia materials, is proud to offer zirconia with a remarkable quality: oxygen-ion conductivity. This distinctive characteristic makes zirconia a vital component in various environmental applications, notably solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs).

SOFCs, produced using CrownRe zirconia, generate electricity without emitting pollution, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly energy solution. Similarly, SOECs, which also utilize CrownRe zirconia, pave the way for the green hydrogen economy by enabling the production of hydrogen through water electrolysis.
