A research team led by Pennsylvania State University has created a potentially effective method for lowering the cost of fuel cells. The novel technique imitates a procedure used in the production of computer chips to lower the quantity of platinum-group metal (PGM) loadings.
A research team led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Research Center at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a fuel cell technology with high stability over a long period of time and improved power density compared to conventional fuel cells by introducing three-dimensional structure control technology.
Researchers based at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have made a breakthrough in redox flow battery technology using a simple sugar additive that could address key concerns while enhancing grid energy resilience.
The thickness of the bipolar plate is decreasing as fuel cells used in vessels and aircraft become lighter and more efficient.
The discovery of Ba2LuAlO5 as a promising proton conductor paints a bright future for protonic ceramic fuel cells, report scientists from Tokyo Tech.
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have garnered much attention due to their low environmental pollution, high conversion efficiency, and high specific energy, which can be largely employed in vehicles like airplanes, automobiles, and stationary power stations.
The Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics, the Tokyo Tech InfoSyEnergy Research and Education Consortium, the Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics (Head of Consortium and Academy Director Manabu Ihara, Prof.) and several companies, including Toshiba Corporation and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, are working together to develop a platform.
Researchers at POSTECH have created a selective catalyst that prevents corrosion in fuel cells used in hydrogen-powered cars, under the direction of Professor Yong-Tae Kim (Department of Material Science and Engineering and Graduate Institute of Ferrous and Energy Materials Technology) and Ph.D. candidate Sang-Hoon You (Department of Material Science and Engineering).
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) has joined forces with the Dutch VDL Groep (VDL) to break into the market for heavy duty hydrogen fuelled trucks, using Toyota’s fuel cell technology.
Bipolar plates form the backbone of proton exchange fuel cells and consequently capture a significant portion of the fuel cell stack value, with IDTechEx forecasting their market value to exceed US$2.4 bn by 2033.
