| Popis: | The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the research, development, and deployment of all types of fuel cells for transportation, material handling, portable power, back-up power, stationary power, and combined heat and power applications. A major focus of this support is polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Key issues inhibiting their widespread penetration and commercialization of fuel cells are performance, durability, and cost and a key component is electrode technology including supports and catalysts. The approaches to improvement in electrode technology include alloys, core/shell structures, thin continuous catalyst films, non-precious metal catalysts, and alternative supports. Major progress has been realized recently. This paper provides an overview of DOE-funded advances and status. |
