A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...

DLR's work on fuel cells includes the development of components and the so-called stacks – these are the heart of a fuel cell system. DLR is conducting research on polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC ...

A research group led by Atsushi Noro at Nagoya University in Japan has announced a novel design concept for fuel cell electrolytes, utilizing a phosphonic acid polymer with hydrocarbon spacers.

All fuel cells have the same basic configuration, an electrolyte and two electrodes, but there are different types of fuel cells, based mainly on what kind of electrolyte they use. Many ...

According to [Charles Q. Choi], a new study indicates that grooves in the hydrogen fuel cells used to power vehicles can improve their performance by up to 50%. Fuel cells are like batteries ...

There are two basic approaches to using hydrogen in vehicles: the proton exchange membrane (PEM, also called polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell and the classic internal combustion engine (ICE).

“Using renewable electricity, 75 percent of that energy makes it to the wheels of a BEV,” says James Edmondson, research ...

Factors collectively create a conducive environment for the adoption and development of fuel cell vehicles, positioning them ...
