November Product Highlights
Catalyzing Change for a Greener Tomorrow
Innovations in Automotive Emissions Control
At DKK America Materials, Inc., we’re committed to creating a better future through our products. Our catalytic technology is paving the way for a cleaner and safer planet, one catalyst at a time.
Catalyst Powerhouse
Did you know that the surface area of our catalyst products for one passenger car is about the same as 2.5 football fields? That’s approximately 140,000 sq. ft (13,000 m²) of catalytic power at work. Our technology supports precious metals on this large surface area, preventing them from clumping together even in high-temperature exhaust gasses.
Combating Toxic Substances
But that’s not all—our catalysts combat a range of toxic substances found in automobile exhaust, including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitric oxide (NOx), and particulate matter (PM). How? By repeatedly absorbing and releasing oxygen, ensuring that these harmful emissions are properly treated through oxidation and reduction processes. Together, we’re paving the way for a greener future, one catalyst at a time.
Fueling the Future with High-Performance Electrolytes
We’re not just about emissions control; we’re also fueling the future with high-performance electrolyte materials.
Zirconium’s Role in Fuel Cells
Our zirconium compounds have superior ionic conductivity, a vital characteristic for fuel cells and oxygen sensors. We’ve taken our expertise in electronic materials and fine ceramics to the next level, resulting in high-performance electrolyte materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC).
Zirconium Innovation
Our secret ingredient? Zirconium oxide. This remarkable material ensures high ionic conductivity and easy moldability for SOFC electrolytes. With these innovations, we’re driving cleaner and more efficient energy solutions.
Enhancing Battery Safety and Durability
Zirconium compounds are at the heart of our mission to shape the future of energy storage.
We’re dedicated to enhancing the safety and durability of lithium-ion batteries with our breakthroughs in refining positive electrode additive materials to nanometer precision. These innovations are driving positive changes in the battery industry.
Towards a Sustainable Tomorrow
Our research spans next-gen all-solid-state batteries and traditional liquid electrolyte batteries, and we’re on the road to a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.
Diversifying Power Sources
But we’re not just powering batteries; we’re diversifying power sources. By embracing renewables, we’re shaping a cleaner and more sustainable world. Join us on this journey towards a brighter future!
