Based in Heifei, China and founded in 2022, Conservation of Momentum operates as a developer of core materials and components for electrolytic water, providing key materials and components for solid electrolyte membrane electrolysis. The company's founder and chief scientist, Professor Xiaoxin Zou, is the head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at Jilin University. Some universities, such as Jilin University, Tennessee University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Sun Yat-sen University, have cooperated with the company. In April 2025, it closed a venture funding from new investor Changchun Equity Investment Fund Management.

The company focuses on the development and production of key materials, components and stacks for the electrolysis of water by proton exchange membranes (PEM). The company's main products are iridium catalysts, membrane electrodes, and porous transport layers with through-hole structures. The through-hole structure porous transport layer has the advantages of a short fluid path, low contact surface impedance, low mass transfer resistance and high shear resistance of the proton exchange membrane. Conservation of Momentum also offers single cell and electrolytic water testing services.

The company generates revenue by providing materials and components for PEM electrolysis, offering solutions to manufacturers and developers in the renewable energy and green hydrogen sectors.
