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:

    “I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
    —Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)

    “On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
    —Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
