Revolutionising Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen production has long faced a critical challenge — balancing efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Conventional methods such as electrolysis or syngas reforming either demand high energy input or generate significant emissions, resulting in an unfavorable energy balance.

NANOARC’s GENHYSIS™ Quantum Catalysis introduces a transformative solution. By leveraging advanced quantum materials, GENHYSIS™ enables hydrogen extraction from water and other hydrogen-rich liquids through a purely nanocatalytic process, operating under ambient conditions with no external energy input and zero emissions.

How It Works

A catalyst functions by lowering the energy barrier of a chemical reaction and accelerating its rate while remaining unchanged.
GENHYSIS™ takes this principle to the next level.

Our Quantum Catalysts operate at the atomic scale to precisely and efficiently facilitate hydrogen release from H₂O molecules. Once immersed in water, the catalyst activates spontaneous water-splitting reactions that continuously generate hydrogen gas — without requiring electrical power, heat, or light activation.

The process is intrinsically self-sustaining, scalable, and environmentally responsible, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and distributed hydrogen applications.

Applications

• Renewable energy storage and conversion

• Industrial hydrogen supply

• Clean mobility and fuel cell systems

• Decentralised and off-grid power generation

Key Benefits

• No External Energy Input – Hydrogen is generated directly from water at ambient temperature and pressure.

• Zero Emissions – No CO₂ or harmful byproducts are produced.

• Quantum Efficiency – Nanocatalytic reactions proceed with exceptional stability and persistence.

• High Output – Approximately 1 gram of GENHYSIS™ Quantum Catalyst can generate ~1000 mL of hydrogen per minute under standard conditions.

• Sustainable and Scalable – A practical path toward clean, import-independent hydrogen production.

The Future of Clean Energy

GENHYSIS™ represents a breakthrough in sustainable hydrogen generation — combining economic viability with environmental responsibility.

This pioneering nanotechnology is designed to empower industries, enable sustainable mobility, and accelerate the global transition to a hydrogen-powered future, with our planet's most abundant resource - water.

A New Era of Clean Energy Independence

GENHYSIS™ represents more than a technological innovation — it is a strategic enabler of sustainable economic growth. By providing a cost-effective, emission-free hydrogen source, GENHYSIS™ supports industries and nations in achieving energy security and carbon neutrality.

OVERCOMING HYDROGEN'S ENERGY DENSITY CHALLENGE

Hydrogen has the highest gravimetric energy density of any known substance (120–142 MJ/kg), making it a compelling energy carrier. However, its volumetric energy density (≈9 MJ/L) remains significantly lower than conventional fuels such as petrol or diesel.

This discrepancy creates a design trade-off:

• In weight-limited systems (e.g. aerospace), hydrogen excels due to its high energy per kilogram.

• In volume-limited systems (e.g. automotive tanks), conventional fuels still outperform hydrogen on energy per litre.

Addressing this volumetric constraint is essential for hydrogen to become a scalable and practical energy solution.

OUR NANOSTRUCTURED SOLUTIONS

NANOARC’s quantum-scale nanocatalysts (<20 nm) overcome these storage limitations by enabling greater hydrogen absorption per unit volume. Certain nanomaterials within our portfolio can store up to 1000 times their own volume of hydrogen, significantly increasing the energy deliverable per tank.

Through precisely engineered pore architectures and quantum confinement effects, our nanocatalysts allow for:

• Enhanced physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms,

• Fast kinetics for hydrogen uptake and release, and

• High reversibility under mild operating conditions.

The quantity of hydrogen adsorbed is closely linked to the specific surface area of the substrate. By maximising this through nanoscale design, our materials deliver superior storage capacity without increasing system size or mass.

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

• High Storage Capacity, Low Volume – Quantum materials offer significantly enhanced hydrogen adsorption per unit volume.

• Lightweight & Scalable – Reduced material mass with scalable synthesis suitable for industry adoption.

• Enhanced Kinetics & Efficiency – Overcome hysteresis and slow kinetics seen in bulk materials such as non-nanoscale palladium.

• Hollow and Porous Nanostructures – Enable dual-site hydrogen storage (internal and surface), increasing overall uptake.

• Thermal and Chemical Stability – Maintains integrity across multiple charge–discharge cycles.

INTEGRATION OPPORTUNITIES

NANOARC’s hydrogen storage nanocatalysts are engineered for direct integration into:

• Fuel cell systems, improving onboard hydrogen utilisation.

• Gas storage tanks, increasing volumetric efficiency.

• Hydrogen generation and release modules, for modular or stationary energy systems.

Our materials can be customised for specific performance targets, including adsorption kinetics, capacity, and operational temperature ranges.

The Hydrogen Economy with Advanced Nanocatalysts

At NANOARC, we are committed to advancing the hydrogen (H₂) economy through cutting-edge nanocatalyst technologies. From hydrogen production and purification to storage and energy generation, our high-performance materials are engineered to meet the evolving needs of industry — efficiently and sustainably.

Contemporary Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen can be produced from hydrocarbons or water using a range of industrial techniques. At present, most hydrogen is generated as synthesis gas (syngas) from hydrocarbon feedstocks — a process that unfortunately releases carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). We focus on enabling cleaner, more efficient pathways to hydrogen through advanced catalytic solutions.

Storage and Transportation Challenges

Hydrogen storage and transport remain key challenges to the realisation of a hydrogen-based energy system. Our nanocatalysts are designed with high surface areas and tailored surface chemistries to promote the safe uptake, dissociation, and release of hydrogen — while providing protection against corrosion and degradation.

Purifying Hydrogen at the Molecular Level

Catalyst poisoning by impurities such as sulphur, arsenic, and carbon monoxide can severely impact hydrogen production and storage efficiency. These poisons compete with hydrogen for active sites on catalyst surfaces, blocking essential reactions. Even trace amounts — less than 10 ppm of CO — can hinder performance in fuel cells and hydrogen storage systems.

To address this, our proprietary nanocatalysts act as highly selective sorbents, effectively removing contaminants including CO, CO₂, H₂S, SOₓ, mercury, arsenic, selenium, and phosphorus from high-temperature syngas streams.

Reusable. Reliable. Responsible.

Our nanocatalysts are engineered for recyclability and extended service life, helping our partners reduce operational costs and minimise environmental impact. Each product is optimised for performance, selectivity, and durability — ensuring dependable operation across hydrogen value chains.
