Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells require precise temperature and moisture controls to be at their best. Specifically, the researchers used synchrotron-based micro X‐ray computed tomography (CT) to visualize and to quantify the water distribution within gas diffusion layers subject to a thermal gradient. —Shum et al.

A team from General Motors Global Research & Development Center in Michigan has developed a new double-layered core–shell structure of polymer-coated carbon–sulfur to confine better the sulfur/polysulfides in the electrode of lithium–sulfur (Li/S) batteries and to improve the batteries’ cycling stability and Columbic efficiency.

Past themes have included topics as diverse as the role of big data and the energy-water nexus. These novel materials will unite the well-controlled physical properties of polymers with the promising functional properties of metal-facilitated self-assembly.

Catalysts are a major factor determining polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack costs, in large part due to the cost of the platinum group metal (PGM) catalyst needed. Carbon-based catalyst supports have enabled the development of dispersed Pt catalysts and low Pt loaded MEAs. Catalyst supports.
