Overview

Empowering Efficiency, Fuelling Innovation

For over 20 years James Cropper has worked alongside leading manufacturers to develop and manufacture the highest quality GDL substrate. As testament, our products are currently in use in over 60,000 fuel cells around the globe. With continued government funding and drive to meet net zero targets, James Cropper Advanced Materials is actively working alongside customers to develop the next generation of fuel cell products.

Overview

Drive for Net Zero
Hydrogen fuel cells utilise the chemical energy of hydrogen to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. Fuel cells have a variety of applications, they can provide power for systems as large as power stations and as small as laptop computers.

Fuel cells are comprised of a number of highly technical components. One of those components is known as the Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL). The GDL plays a critical role in the fuel cell, forming the basis of both anode and cathode, and is responsible for water management.

We are actively working with customers and fuel cell manufacturers to deliver next generation GDL substrates.

Solutions we offer

How we help our partners succeed

Customised Solutions

We recognise that not every fuel cell is the same and requires subtly different substrates in their stack design. From varying widths, to binder content, our team of materials scientists work with customers to develop the best solution for their stack.

Innovation

Our team of material scientists are actively collaborating with customers and fuel cell manufacturers to develop cutting-edge GDL substrates for the next generation of fuel cells.

Over 20 Years in Fuel Cell Development

James Cropper GDL substrate is deployed in over 60,000 fuel cell vehicles worldwide, backed by over 20 years of dedicated fuel cell material development. We are unwavering in our commitment to delivering the highest quality GDL substrate, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
