An international research group has simulated the coupling of bifacial PV panels with proton exchange membrane (PEM) reversible fuel cells (RFC) to power commercial buildings. The simulation was ...

HyWatts has developed the Powerplant-in-a-Box system, a reversible high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell that can also work as an electrolyzer, ensuring energy supply anywhere and ...

PEM fuel cells will see uptake in a range of mobility and stationary applications, with specific technology trends for the individual fuel cell components. This article introduces these constituent ...

Membrane materials are of fundamental importance for fuel cells, even giving their name to the specific type of fuel cell, as is the case for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Typically, ...

Mechanisms of the bulk and local oxygen transport in cathode catalyst layers (CCLs) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are presented. State-of-the-art strategies to mitigate the oxygen ...
