Ion-exchanges membranes (IEMs) have many applications beyond fuel cells -- they can also be used to synthesize all types of compounds that are used in... Read more

The electrolyte layer is essential for a fuel cell to work properly. In PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs), the fuel travels to the catalyst layer and gets broke... Read more

Fuel cells are not limited to pure hydrogen gas as fuel. Each type of fuel cell stack has different fuel tolerances. The lower the operating temperatu... Read more

There are many steps involved in the manufacturing of a fuel cell stack. One of these steps is the hot pressing of the polymer electrolyte membrane to... Read more

Mathematical models are a precise description of a problem, process, or technology in the form of mathematics. These models are built to learn more ab... Read more

Those who wish to learn more about fuel cells, and even to build their own, may also want to learn how to test those fuel cells. In this post, we will... Read more

The gas diffusion layer (GDL) in a fuel cell can consist of a single layer or a double layer (gas diffusion layer and a microporous layer). The GDL is... Read more

Selecting the appropriate technique to properly characterize the fuel cell is extremely important because it helps the user to understand why the fuel... Read more

The first step in building a fuel cell is to determine the power requirements needed to power the particular device or application. Fuel cells can be ... Read more
