HZB, 3M team explores water management in PFIA membranes for fuel cells; better performance at higher temps and low humidity

Green Car Congress

A core component of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is the membrane, which allows protons to diffuse selectively towards the cathode while blocking the oxygen and hydrogen gas. 3M Company’s Fuel Cell Components Group recently developed a different low-cost proton exchange membrane material: perfluoroimide acid (PFIA).

France’s IFPEN studying industrial potential of onshore sources of natural hydrogen

Green Car Congress

IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) has become one of the first global research centers actively to investigate onshore natural hydrogen emissions after the discovery of offshore sources of the gas in the 1970s. Currently, hydrogen is considered a carrier of energy rather than a source—i.e.,
