Executive Brief
FluviusH2 Limited is a high-tech green hydrogen firm specializing in bio-enzyme-coupled water electrolysis. Their primary innovation lies in "Fluvius No. 1-3," proprietary catalysts and enzymes designed to eliminate precious metals (like Iridium or Platinum) and lower the energy barrier for hydrogen evolution. Operating out of the Hong Kong Science Park, they bridge the gap between biological catalysts and industrial electrochemical systems.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 72/100 (Strong Potential)
Why this Score? FluviusH2 is disrupting the traditional PEM/Alkaline electrolysis market with bio-organic interfaces. However, bio-enzymes are notoriously fragile and sensitive to electrode degradation and pH fluctuations. 6C's Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) provides the world’s most chemically inert and stable electrode substrate. While FluviusH2 focuses on the catalyst, 6C provides the ultimate platform to host those catalysts, ensuring industrial-grade longevity and preventing heavy-metal leaching that could deactivate their bio-enzymes.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Electrode Substrates | BDD Thin-Films | Provides a chemically stagnant surface for "Fluvius No. 1" enzymes. Unlike Nickel or Carbon, BDD will not corrode or produce competing ions that poison bio-catalysts. |
| Electrolyte Sensing | BDD Electrochemical Sensors | Real-time monitoring of by-product concentrations and electrolyte health. BDD has the widest electrochemical potential window (>3V), allowing detection of species others miss. |
| System Stability | Custom MPCVD Coating | Direct diamond coating of stainless steel or titanium flow plates to prevent "hydrogen embrittlement" and extend the stack lifecycle to >50,000 hours. |
| R&D Infrastructure | 9N High-Purity H2 Generators | FluviusH2's R&D Center requires ultra-pure hydrogen for calibration and reference standards. 6C systems deliver 99.9999999% purity. |
| Thermal Management | PCD Heat Spreaders | Bio-enzymes are thermally sensitive. 6C Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) can pull heat away from the reaction interface 5x faster than copper, preventing enzyme denaturation. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "How are you currently managing the interface stability between your bio-enzymes and metallic electrodes to prevent ion-leaching and catalyst deactivation over long-term cycling?"
- Value Statement: "6C can provide Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) interfaces that offer a zero-corrosion environment, ensuring your 'Fluvius No. 1' enzymes maintain peak activity without interference from the underlying substrate."
