Development and testing of a high-performance fuel cell membrane

Chemicals and materials

Fuel cell technology

The core component of a fuel cell where electrochemical reactions occur, containing catalysts like platinum.

A membrane used in electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells that is permeable to hydrogen. A key challenge is managing hydrogen crossover through this membrane.

A type of fuel cell operating at higher temperatures (typically 120–200°C), allowing for greater system efficiency and simpler cooling architecture compared to standard (low-temperature) PEM fuel cells.

United States

Germany

HyPoint's existing fuel cell system that operates at higher temperatures and pressures than conventional technology, allowing for faster proton transport and greater power production.
