Key takeaways
- PEM and SPE describe the same membrane technology.
- Both produce H₂ with model-specific gas composition when engineered correctly.
- Membrane quality and stack assembly matter more than the acronym.
Same chemistry, different label
Most consumer machines list PEM. Industrial documentation often uses SPE. The active layer is the same perfluorosulfonic-acid polymer (commonly Nafion or equivalent).
Frequently asked questions
Neither. Membrane brand, stack pressure and water purity determine real output.
