New LLNL membrane bridges operational gap between low- and high-temperature PEM fuel cells; potential for lower cost systems

Green Car Congress

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems. There’s a huge benefit to running fuel cells at the widest possible operating temperature with water tolerance.

Sandia fuel cell membrane outperforms market; temperature range and durability

Green Car Congress

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems, the researchers said. Further, this means that the operating temperature can’t get higher than water’s boiling point.
