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/or development:

    “It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”
    —Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)

    “I could not undertake to form a nucleus of an institution for the development of infant minds, where none already existed. It would be too cruel.”
