Fuel Cell - Research and Development

Research and Development

  • August 2005: Georgia Institute of Technology researchers use triazole to raise the operating temperature of PEM fuel cells from below 100 °C to over 125 °C, claiming this will require less carbon-monoxide purification of the hydrogen fuel.
  • 2008 Monash University, Melbourne uses PEDOT as a cathode.
  • 2009 Researchers at the University of Dayton, in Ohio, show that arrays of vertically grown carbon nanotubes could be used as the catalyst in fuel cells.
  • 2009: Y-Carbon has begun to develop a carbide-derived-carbon-based ultracapacitor with high energy density, which may lead to improvements in fuel cell technology.
  • 2009: A nickel bisdiphosphine-based catalyst for fuel cells is demonstrated.

Famous quotes containing the words research and, research and/or development:

    “To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
    —Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)

    “I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
    —H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
