Title: Wim De Schepper and His Work in Water Electrolysis
Introduction
Wim De Schepper is an inventor associated with VITO NV in Mol, Belgium. His patent work includes a hybrid ceramic membrane designed for water electrolysis applications.
Latest Patents
De Schepper is associated with 1 patent: “Hybrid Ceramic Membrane for Water Electrolysis Application.” The invention describes a method for manufacturing a dense composite polymeric-ceramic membrane. It involves casting a porous ceramic support layer containing YSZ and TiO₂ flakes, then thermally curing and sintering it. A thin TiO₂ coating adjusts the support’s pore-size distribution, while ion-selective polymers further densify the membrane to reduce gas crossover while maintaining conductivity.
