Kontrollerbar, effektiv og bærekraftig sølvelektrolyseprosess for produksjon av katalysator

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

This project will develop a scalable, precise, and sustainable silver electrolysis process to produce catalyst-grade silver. Current refining methods focus on purification and lack control over particle size, shape, and surface area—key factors in catalytic performance. To address this, a custom 70L pilot electrolysis cell will be built, enabling real-time control of process parameters such as pH, temperature, current density. The project will systematically study how these variables affect crystal growth and morphology. Advanced analytical techniques (ICP, SEM, optical microscopy) will link process conditions with silver particle properties. This approach eliminates the need for post-processing, reduces waste, and improves energy efficiency. The result will be a novel, industry-ready production method that strengthens Norway’s position in high-performance silver catalyst technologies.​
