New components and concepts for polymer fuel cells in vehicle applications
Research Project, 2014
– 2016
Polymer fuel cells based on novel polymer electrolytes and noble metal-free catalysts will be studied. Component interactions in cells and stacks, and system issues related to integration of vehicles and transport will be investigated. Material synthesis as well as evaluation of materials in the fuel cell by means of electrochemical and physical methods are included. In the longer term, progress in this field will lead to cheaper and more robust fuel cell systems for energy efficient and environmentally friendly power generation and propulsion of vehicles, but also for other applications. The materials and issues covered by the project is scientifically of highest international relevance. Skill development will occur through training of PhDs and cooperation between academia and industry. The project is a national collaboration between research groups at KTH, LU and Chalmers and industry.
