About the company
Hydrogen has one electron in the 1s orbital and therefore has an electron configuration of 1s1. 1s1 Energy is catalyzing the adoption of renewable hydrogen within this decade. For renewable hydrogen to become economically viable, there is a need to solve essential materials science problems. We are developing next-generation materials for fuel cells and electrolysis stacks, significantly improving their performance and durability. We are looking for collaborations to accelerate the scaling of our technology.
About the solution
At 1s1 Energy, we leverage our proprietary materials to build revolutionary next-generation electrolyzers. We employ the same materials to unlock unprecedented performance for fuel cell manufacturers.
Today’s commercial electrolyzer technology relies on legacy materials. At 1s1 Energy, we are transforming the industry through focused materials science innovation protected by fundamental patents.
Our unique boron-based chemistries unlock previously unachievable performance and durability. The electrochemical cell is at the heart of every electrolyzer and fuel cell. It includes catalysts that accelerate electrochemical reactions at the cathode and anode and an ion-exchange membrane that completes the electric circuit through the selective transport of ionic species. The performance and durability of its elements profoundly impact the economic viability of products employing these cells.
Novel materials allow 1s1 to chart an accelerated path toward decarbonization.
