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.

    “The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “Sleep hath its own world,
    And a wide realm of wild reality.
    And dreams in their development have breath,
