Recently, JUNA TECH has made another breakthrough, introducing a new generation of its three major green hydrogen electrode products. The JE Series AEM have been officially released, while the latest test data for the JA alkaline and JP PEM have been unveiled. These core products have not only achieved technical advancements but also made significant strides in commercialization. With mass production set for 2025, they will provide strong momentum for the large-scale development of the green hydrogen industry.

Recently, the alkali electrodes independently developed by JUNA TECH have successfully passed the national certification for major technical equipment as a "First Set." JUNA TECH is the only company in the green hydrogen industry to receive this honor in 2024. This recognition highlights JUNA TECH's core technological advantages and independent innovation capabilities in green hydrogen electrode technology. It also marks a significant achievement in overcoming key technological bottlenecks and advancing the industrialization of high-efficiency hydrogen production equipment.

On December 9, 2024, JUNA TECH was honored with the "Future Green Innovation International IP Commercialization Award" by the International Intellectual Property Commercialization Council (IIPCC) in recognition of its technological innovations and industrial advancements in water electrolysis hydrogen production. At the same time, the national standard "Performance Testing and Evaluation of Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Electrodes" (GB/T 45092-2024), in which JUNA TECH played a key role in drafting, has been officially released and will take effect on March 1, 2025. These achievements mark a significant step forward for JUNA TECH in advancing technological development and standardization within the water electrolysis hydrogen industry.

On November 9, 2024, the 17th China-Japan Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Forum was grandly held in Tokyo. JUNA TECH participated in the forum and officially signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Hydrogen Energy Market Expansion with DAIKEN at the event. Through this partnership, JUNA TECH will collaborate with Japanese counterparts in high-current-density and low-energy-consumption water electrolysis hydrogen production technologies, further expanding into the Japanese and global hydrogen energy markets.

Recently, multiple water electrolysis hydrogen production units at the Pengzhou Green Hydrogen and Materials Technology Research Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Pengzhou Green Hydrogen Center") have successfully completed commissioning and trial operations. This milestone marks the imminent launch of China's first industrial-grade testing platform dedicated to electrolyzer core components, which will soon be open for external services.

Driven by the growth of the green hydrogen industry, PEM water electrolysis equipment is now entering the stage of industrial-scale application. The market has developed clearer expectations for cost, performance, stability, and adaptability. However, in the early stages of domestic PEM electrolysis development, diverse structural designs, an immature core materials supply chain, and a lack of standardized component combinations have hindered cost reduction and commercialization. In response, JUNA TECH has launched its mass-production JP Series PEM electrolysis MEAs, achieving a cathode Pt loading of just 0.35 mg/cm² and anode Ir loading of only 0.86 mg/cm², reducing costs by approximately 20%. Currently, the first-generation JP-30000 MEA has demonstrated stable operation at 1.84V @ 2A/cm², 65°C, N115 in a 20 Nm³/h industrial electrolyzer. Meanwhile, an improved second-generation product has already achieved 1.75V @ 2A/cm², 65°C, N115 in laboratory tests. "It took nearly three years to bring our PEM electrolysis MEA from concept to mass production. We've conducted in-depth research on formulations, structures, material selection, and manufacturing processes. Our client tests confirm that even in large-scale production (500×600mm MEAs), we maintain uniform coating thickness, consistent loading, and stable product quality. Mass production began successfully in December of last year. Additionally, we have tested the compatibility of our catalyst layers with various proton exchange membranes (PEMs), providing valuable data for the next step in full domestic substitution."

Since its official launch last year, JUNA TECH has continuously advanced the innovation and market validation of green hydrogen materials, earning significant recognition from the capital market. The company has recently completed a Pre-A round of nearly ¥100 million, led by Changjiang Innovation, with Dongfang Jiafu and Sunlight Lighting as co-investors. Over the past year, JUNA TECH has pursued a multi-faceted development strategy. By the end of the year, several new products will enter mass production, and MW-scale demonstration projects will be delivered. Additionally, the "Electrolyzer Core Component Testing Platform", jointly established by JUNA TECH, the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance Research Institute, and other ecosystem partners, has been set up in Chengdu and will soon begin operations. The successful completion of this funding round will further support JUNA TECH in advancing technological innovation while accelerating the industrialization and validation of core electrolyzer components and systems, contributing to the healthy development of the hydrogen industry.

As a specialized supplier of green hydrogen electrodes, JUNA TECH has continued to advance the industrialization of its technological innovations following the launch of the JA Series alkaline electrodes, which achieve current densities in the tens of thousands of A/m². Recently, its PEM membrane electrode assembly (MEA) has successfully passed third-party testing. Through microstructural improvements in catalyst materials and process innovations, JUNA TECH has significantly reduced the precious metal loading in the catalyst layer and overcome challenges in slurry dispersion and coating transfer processes, potentially resolving the two major bottlenecks of high cost and complex manufacturing in PEM MEAs.

On the 12th of this month, JUNA TECH successfully held the "Alkaline Electrode Product Launch & Chengdu Factory Opening Ceremony" at its Chengdu facility. In the presence of industry leaders and peers, the company officially unveiled its first-generation alkaline electrode, the JA Series, aiming to usher alkaline electrolyzers into the era of ultra-high current density. With the launch of JUNA TECH’s first pilot production line and the signing of initial purchase orders, the JA Series has successfully completed its transition from laboratory research to industrial-scale production over the past year, officially entering the market for real-world validation.

Recently, JUNA TECH successfully completed a ¥50 million angel round financing led by Legend Star. With the closure of this funding round and the launch of its first alkaline electrode pilot production line, the company has entered a new phase of development.
