Chemical distribution and bonding states in fuel cell membranes

Tuesday, June 9, 2015 - 05:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Fuel cells have the potential to provide clean energy for powering vehicles, but improved performance and durability are needed for wide-spread commercialisation. A collaboration of researchers in Japan has now demonstrated a technique for simultaneously mapping the morphology as well as electronic and bonding states on fuel cell electrode membranes for the first time. The results show how the catalysts on the membrane electrodes degrade and provide insights for improving the durability.
