UD team devises CO2 direct air capture device powered by hydrogen for HEMFCs

Green Car Congress

However, HEMFC performance is adversely affected by CO 2 present in the ambient air feed. The approach involved internally short-circuiting the device. The alkaline environment of hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells (HEMFCs) potentially allows use of cost-effective catalysts and bipolar plates in devices.
