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.

Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017. The company hopes to launch AWC in 2017. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. There will also be wireless options.
