Solid-oxide fuel cells, electrolysers, concentrated solar, hydrogen infrastructure, battery and storage R&D — alternative energy depends on oxide ceramics with precisely tuned ionic, thermal and dielectric properties. Anderman supplies the yttria-stabilised zirconia, AlN, alumina and porous-ceramic grades that the technology rides on.
Deep specification expertise across the oxide and non-oxide grades that matter for alt-energy: Y-PSZ and Y-FSZ, AlN, porous alumina, high-purity quartz — selected for ionic conductivity, dielectric performance or chemical compatibility, not just temperature.
Comfortable supplying from gram-scale R&D batches through pilot-line quantities to series production. The same QA documentation across all three — no step change in supplier when the project moves out of the lab.
Fuel cell, electrolyser, solar receiver and battery R&D teams use overlapping materials. One specifier across all of them simplifies procurement and shortens the iteration cycle on new chemistries.
Solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolysers (SOEC) run yttria-stabilised zirconia as the oxygen-ion-conducting electrolyte at 600–900 °C. Anderman supplies Y-PSZ and Y-FSZ in R&D forms — tape-cast green sheets, dense sintered discs and tubes, plus the porous nickel-cermet support materials and glass-seal precursors. For pilot lines we ramp the same grades into production volumes.
Concentrated solar receivers, high-temperature thermal-energy-storage media and solar furnace fixtures use SiC absorbers, alumina structural elements and refractory shapes for thermal containment. Anderman supplies the SiC and alumina components used in central-receiver, parabolic-trough and solar-furnace R&D.
Hydrogen pipeline electrical insulators, fuel-cell stack feedthroughs and electrolyser balance-of-plant fittings use dense alumina (EA995) for its hydrogen impermeability and dielectric strength. Mullite and steatite cover lower-pressure, lower-temperature service. Quartz handles the high-purity hydrogen handling at lab scale.
Battery development relies on alumina-coated separators, ceramic-coated foils, zirconia and alumina test fixtures, and AlN for thermal-runaway barriers and pack-level heat spreaders. Anderman supplies fixtures and barrier materials across lithium-ion, solid-state and sodium-ion R&D programmes.
